Bucket list

[Elmer J Fudd]

A while ago I decided to do the stuff I wanted, if and when I could afford to, as I had spent too long thinking of others and putting things on hold.

A bucket list I suppose, but also self motivation to DO SOMETHING before I pop off.

I've done a few.
Skied from the top of Monte Fort to my hotel in Verbier.
Shot for Scotland as team captain.
Caught a Salmon on a fly.
Ticked off a few Alpine passes on my bikes and followed the Loire from mouth to source.
Done some Munro's and taken in the views.
etc. etc. the usual stuff.

Still to do:
One of the big American Biker weekends, Sturgis or Daytona, or maybe another.
Play in a band again (not since school) and record a few songs.
Do a few long distance bike trails TET etc. or even walks.
Norway / Sweden on bike.
Once I'm old enough shoot again in the team but as a Veteran.
Write a book on something, non-fiction.
Write the stories of my adolescence (we did some wild stuff, but never bad).
Helicopter or plane ride round Scotland (on a sunny day).
Fish some of the great North American rivers.

And others, nothing really spectacular, but I don't think they have to be, just fulfilling.

Life is one big bucket list without realising it, it only gets labelled a bucket list as time going forward becomes less predictable. Having 'lost' a couple of people over the last 12 months time has suddenly become 'of the essence' in my mind.
I have held off on a Himalayas trip hoping my Wife wanted to go but a couple of small health issues have changed her focus so it will be a trip with a mate .......... if the World gets opened up again.
Other things on the list revolve around more family and less work.

Great list.
Where did you catch a salmon on the fly? I aim to do that.

On the Tweed at Floors Castle.

Most jokes pale in comparison to yours Dave.

We used to ski in a place called Pfronten in southern Germany, we went a couple of years running. There is a balloon festival in January of each year, which I suppose makes sense, as cold air will be good for a balloon. It looked fantastic with loads of balloons all in the air at the one time with views over the Alps. We considered asking about a trip, but the WAGS weren't up for it. I may need to add that to my list....

Ba boom, tsss...

I went to uni in Bristol and they hold a big balloon festival there too. It was always worth going to take a look but I never went skyward myself.

I quite like exciting but un-powered things, so a glider would be on the list too, and I definitely fancy a go at this:

Fly fishing for salmon in Scotland, always wanted to do that, haven't the patience to fish but there's something about fly fishing that fascinates me.
