Personally I haven't I like my feet on the ground, Believe me I didn't even fly anywhere untill the late 90's
However my hubby is more adventurous , The enclosed photo is him on a paid walking tour, in Surfers Paradise
Queensland, on top of the Q1 Building, You pay for the tour and are taken up to the 77 th floor by lift, You are then taken on the Outside of the building, by the tour guide, you then climb the steps to the top of the building
As it happened hubby was the only one on the tour that morning so he had the guide all to himself to ask questions ...
Nooooo way would I ever do it Would you or have you done anything daring ....like this
Oh the tour guide took the photo ... and you have to pay for them if you want them ..

Last time I did anything exciting was two years ago when I went ziplining. I'd do it again and again and again. There's nothing like the view from treetops!
 
I"m like you Falcon I can't stand heights but I'm ok flying and strangely enough I'm fine paragliding but then I'm attached with a guy rope to a speedboat...


TBH Kadee..I am as adventurous as I can be, have been all of my life....I love it, where opportunity and finances allow I will do just about anything that's dare-devil...as long as it doesn't involve heights...
 
It makes me break out in a sweat just looking at photo, The building has a glass roof so I could see him climbing the steps on the outside
One of the mountains in the background is called Mount Warning,, it is the First Place in Australia to see the sun every day,
hubby plans on climbing that this year when we are up there for a month..in the winter

Oh Morning Holly ...

Yes this ones a little Differnt ftom the other one I posted ( he was not hanging out like that)

Its 9.50 am here
 
Yes in the first one you showed me it didn't look like he was strapped in which made it look a lot more terrifying ...I can see he was more safe in this one, altho' I still wouldn't ever do that..

almost 30 minutes past midnight here (monday morning)
 
The most adventurous thing I've done is walk down the driveway barefoot to get the paper. I'm afraid of everything.
 
I did many very daring things, when I was younger. Thinking back, I am amazed that I have lived this long. The last daring thing I have experienced was two years ago...at 79. I rode through a forest, with a friend's husband, on the back of big Harley. She would not even try it. It was soooo exhilirating ! ! ! Made me wonder why I had never tried it before. If I were younger, I think I would buy a bike...even if it was a trike. LOL
Although I have parachuted, out of planes, I do not think I would attempt the climb your husband did, Kadee.
 
No more adventures for me, thanks. I did enough reckless, dangerous stuff when I was young and survived, don't want to press me luck.
 
One of the things I was always taught by my dad was to fear nothing. It's what gave me the courage to start my own business, it's what gave me the courage to get involved in politics, and it's what gave me the courage to learn to skydive a few years ago.
Life is short-you can live it wrapped in a self imposed protective bubble or live it to the fullest with the courage to do push yourself to the limits. I've always preferred the limits.

I think just having the nerve to sign up to a forum is an adventure, it's not really like me to sign up to a fourm ( not involved in Facebook) but don't try kicking me out as im not going anywhere, love it on here playing games and "talking " to other members ....... ..:grin:

Same here. I'm afraid of heights but I have the urge to sky dive with a buddy.
 
I've done adventurous things but not physical things like bungee jump. Unless you count going for wildlife walks at dawn with cape buffalo, zebra, hyenas, and warthogs etc surrounding us.
 
Riding in a gondola up Whiteface mountain. I hate heights and I did it on a dare. It was real windy that day which added to my fear. Once I got to the top and started to calm down, I realized I had to go back down. I did it and it's over with. No mountains in Florida, thank God.
 
No Mountains in Florida?... please excuse my US geographical ingorance but I didn't know that....I luuurve mountains, canyons and lagoons...I don't think I'll ever be paying a visit to Florida...shame!!
