I’ve Come Too Far Now To Stop!

By far one of the best experiences I’ve had was going to Wimbledon!

 

WIMBLEDON 2013!

I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Wimbledon, but I tried to obtain tickets and failed in the early registration for getting tickets. However, this didn’t stop me as I later found out that you can queue on the day for tickets to get into Wimbledon. If you were in the first couple of thousand people there queuing for tickets, you could get seats in all the courts. So armed with a flask and some food I went down and GOT IN!!!!!

 

HORSE RIDING

Horse riding is something that has always appealed to me, however I am afraid of ALL animals. That means cats, dogs and even goldfish so you know this was a big challenge for me. So I am really proud of myself for doing it and actually want to do it again. It was a lovely day out too.

 

ZORBING

Whoever invented the Zorb has to be the craziest person I know! It was so much fun!!! Running on water in a giant ball filled with air was hilarious. I ended trying to have a really good technique to stay standing up without falling over. It was Europe’s largest Zorb!

 

 

LIGHT AIRCRAFT FLYING

Yup, I flew an aircraft! I took off with the aid of a trained pilot and dual controls in case anything went horribly wrong and I flew! It was breathtaking! So peaceful and smooth, it really is one of those experiences that you’ll want to do over and over again. The controls were easy to handle, in fact a lot easier then driving a car.

CLAY PIGEON SHOOTING

I have a big bruise on my right shoulder from where I was holding the gun. Clay Pigeon Shooting actually scared me a little on firing the first shot, but then after it was OK. I managed to hit the target a few times with the help of my trainer, but this sport is definitely not one for me. I think I’ll stick to shopping instead.

I thought that there was no way of being able to do the 30 different things on my list before I was 30 years old. This is because I believed that there was no way I would get the opportunity or have the time to do them all.  

In life I think we automatically make excuses for not doing things without giving it a chance, as a way of avoiding disappointment. Since doing this task, I have experienced new things and found new hobbies which I hope to keep up.
