That looks like great fun op!

I'd love to do the bull run as well one day.

I haven't really done anything crazy at all, unless voluntarily walking around in -110C for three minutes in nothing but shorts and runners counts.

Where on earth can you walk around in -110c when the lowest temperature ever recorded (on earth) is -89.2c??

For me... craziest thing? Hmmm.. probably moving to a country where I didn't speak the language and knew nobody else but the wife's family. Not that crazy... sorry.

Drive the car blind drunk with a fella sitting on the roof.

The Camino del Rey, that's just adrenaline, that's an achievement, that's only risking yourself. You, however, could have seriously injured yourself, the guy on the roof, or any other innocent in another car. If you really did that, you should cop yourself on tbh.

Yea right...... I took a shit in a GAA club .erm shitter.

Fcuking risky enough for me.

Posing for a photo outside a police station whilst drinking a beer.

The cryotherapy centre in Wexford Town. http://www.whitesofwexford.ie/cryo-packages.html

You walk into a -10 or so chamber then straight into a -50 or so chamber then straight into the main chamber at -110C where you walk in circles for 3 minutes.

It's a bit scary trying to catch your breath at first but after twenty seconds or so it's fine.

dr gonzo · 20-07-2010 12:43AM

Im not at all extreme but ive done a couple of things that are a bit mad. As someone said a tandem skydive isnt that crazy anymore so we'll skip that one.

An unusual one ive done is like the bike version of the camino del rey, the death road in Bolivia.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtUaherTC50 (I havent watched this video properly but im sure it gives you an idea.)

It was also made quite a bit more scary because i hadnt been on a bike since i was kid when i did that.

I took peyote once and then took a large pipe hit of salvia mixed with DMT crystals once I was tripping fully on it. Not something I'm in a hurry to repeat anytime soon.

Fúck me...Salvia is bad enough on its own!

Craziest thing I ever did was agree to share a flat with two wimminz...sounds fun in principle.

It isn't.

After a night out about 3-4 years ago, I scaled the perimeter of a construction site and actually climbed a crane.

Turns out i'll be holidaying within a few miles of it next month so feck it, i'm going for it

I did that in a van with a drunk driver. Only noticed a few minutes after he'd switched on the engine.

Sweet jesus - that El Camino del Rey looks crazy. I'd struggle to walk on the parts that are fenced at the edge. No way would I go near the beams - that is some scary lookin shít ! Fareplay OP if you manage it.

Climbed up Pacaya Volcano in Gautemala
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacaya
At the top we walked over hardened lava that was as sharp as knives.
Under that hardened lava we could see lava flowing.
We got up for sunset and as we walked back in was dark.
Crazy country Guatemala.

We also got charged at by an Indian Elephant in a National Park in Kerala.

Fancy That · 20-07-2010 11:46AM

Went Oink Oink to an old copper as he passed us one night afer pub. He turned on his heel, blamed my mate told us get home. Jez did we laugh afterwards.

Don't think he found it too funny though.

Ah well...:eek:

eightyfish · 20-07-2010 12:09PM

I did a solo skydive. Scariest thing I've ever done. The second scariest thing was a tandem skydive before that. The third scariest thing is happening next week - I have to do the best man speech at my best friend's wedding.

Good luck with the cliff walk OP looks brilliant.

StormWarrior · 20-07-2010 12:09PM

The craziest thing I've ever done by choice was visit India. Do not recommend it!

Stripped down to my birthday suit and took a trip through Athlone for charity. Thought we were going to get in trouble with the Gardai for streaking.

StormWarrior · 20-07-2010 12:12PM

caught campylobacter, hepatitis A, got totally ripped off at every turn, nearly torn to shreds by wilddogs, everything was filthy, even the sea was full of motor oil and plastic, wild animals including giant rats, boars and dogs everywhere, just horrendous.

OT but briefly - Sounds nasty. I only ask because south India is my favourite place in the world and I'm going again at the end of the summer. You have to be careful not to get ripped off, but we never did. We got the recommended shots so no infections. We took malaria tablets also. Didn't even get Dehli Belly, and we ate street food every day.

There is a lot of dirt and poverty in the cities, but that's part of the experience really. One of the things I learned was that the poor over there do not seem themselves as poor and probably live richer lives than we do in the west. Poor is a state of mind, they say.

Craziest thing you've done by choice?
