I think I would kinda like Palin's job to be fair

Mont Blanc was amazing. We did take the cop-out way up there though :D

Yeah, get a job as a travel writer or holiday programme presenter and you're laughing.

Messiah, I'll bow to your higher knowledge of cheesey films :D

What was that series recently (BBC2, I think) where they took average joes and gave them incredibly tough challenges - sail across the Atlantic, run a ultra marathon, etc..?? would love to do that.

That's the only downside with doing anything adventurous, you need money to fulfill them :( I wanted to do a 5-day Ultra myself in North Africa but it costs about £4K to compete :eek:

North American road trip - very roughly, start at Toronto, drive across to Vancouver, down the West coast, head east across to the Mississippi and drive north, do a bit of zig zagging then head north east, back into to Canada and the atlantic provinces, back through Quebec and home. All along the way taking in many of North Americas attractions/places of interest.

Apart from that:

Japan
Australia - esp. Sydney, Ayers Rock & Perth
Egypt - just the Pyramids etc
New Zealand
China
Hong Kong
Moscow
Pitcairn Island
Bermuda
Madagascar
Gallapogos Islands
Iceland
Sweden
Czech
Peru
Brazil
Antartica and the Arctic in quick succession - so I can introduce a polar bear to some penguins ;)

That'll do for now. :)

Must dos:

1) Swimming (not in a cage!) with good ole carcharodon carcharias in South Africa! :cool:
2) Bear tracking in Alaska

I need to visit Canada and New Zealand too! Not fussed with Europe really tbh.

I like the look of the mongol rally .......... £1000 car and drive it to Mongolia. Take plenny of vodka for bribing local police.
