Have you ever done anything TOTALLY out of your comfort zone....

Its certainly an idea I'm looking for something new and who knows DH might like a home showing- he liked it when I showed him my shimmy!!!

Wow Teetime Well done you ! I am terrified of heights and struggle to cross even a rope bridge at Alnwick castle with the DGC (who seem to find it hysterically funny). My DD did a charity Zip Wire across the River Tyne for charity a couple of years ago and I felt physically sick watching her step over the side of the Tyne Bridge.

If you do get chance to try Burlesque, you should. It was brilliant fun. We did a short well not short enough routine at the end complete with long silk gloves and feather boa, which, after a couple of glasses of wine or ten I might "do" for DH grin

Well done Gillybob. My Zumba teacher also teaches Burlesque but hasn't persuaded me to try it yet. In answer to your question Yes I have been on a abseil kind of thing across a 200 foot wide and deep gorge in the Lake District although it was some years a go I would do that again. I would really like to abseil down Malham Cove.

....and found that you rather liked it?

Last night (shock horror) I did a Burlesque master class ! shock

I was kind of roped into it to make numbers up and wasn't looking forward to it one little bit, but to my surprise it was really good fun and not at all what I expected.

Has anyone else done anything way out of their comfort zone and found that they quite enjoyed it and would like to do it again?
