16 Jul 15 - 01:07 PM (#3724085) Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: GUEST,Olddude Water slide now with grandson.. Later going to jump out of an airplane again. Throw the meds away, fire the damn doctors and live. Have a beer, have a smoke, get laid, but live. Sitting on a couch is not living, drive fast if you want, jump out a plane if you want but live. My opinion |

16 Jul 15 - 04:47 PM (#3724145) Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: GUEST,Musket musing When I went zip trekking between two mountains in Canada, the thrill of the zip trek was put into perspective when we were walking back to the minibus and a bear was sat in the path blocking our way... (Anti climax. He sat and posed whilst we got our cameras out then waddled off into the woods, presumably for a shit. ) We all know what zips are in The Uk. Or at least, we dirty rotten stinking capitalists amongst us do. |
16 Jul 15 - 09:50 PM (#3724191) Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: GUEST,Olddude It is one heck of a lot of fun, but jumping out of a plane is the rush. I am going to invest in my own equipment. |
