Bucket list.

Unfortunately can't think of anything that my body would allow me to do now . When my husband was alive always wanted to go in a helicopter . And he always wanted to go enter a car rally race . You know the thing where they race through forests etc.

My mom wanted to go in the milk race until I told her it wasn't racing milk floats but on bikes . 🤣

I’d like to go on the zip wire in Snowdonia , and have a small tattoo sometime.

I have lusted after a trip along the Silk Road since always and, sadly no longer possible, a visit to Persia/Iran. The culture from that country fascinates me..

I've wanted to see the Northern Lights ever since hearing about them in primary school. We were cruising around Scotland in May when they were clearly seen back home in Devon!

I don't have a bucket list, I have done all I wanted to when my husband was alive.

In insomniac moments I have been known to compile a mental “bucket list” of things I have never done and frankly have no desire to do - ever! It’s much more fun.
Bungee jumping and pot holing feature, climbing high mountains, cruising on one of those monstrosities the height of an office block, jungles, deserts - and, I’m afraid, parachute jumping!

Oh Whiff, that’s made me giggle 🤭

I’ve climbed mountains Maw, but I couldn’t think of anything worse than cruising on those huge ships, but I’ve thought about a river cruise. Sailing gently down the Moselle, stopping off and sampling the wine is on my bucket list, but pot holing would be my worst nightmare!

In my younger days I went caving in Kentucky. A memory to last a lifetime.

I don't have a bucket list- I don't even have a bucket!

Just one day at a time and enjoying my good health, family and friends.

I climbed mount Sinai in my much younger days, we did it at night with guides lighting the way, too hot during the day, took hours and arrived at dawn to see the sunrise. Spectacular. Now is understandably off limits, so glad we got to do it. Would now love to climb Snowdon or Ben Nevis but my knees and hips aren’t up to it, am ok rambling/walking on flatter terrain or gentle hills but a mountain would floor me.
Would love to write a crime novel though so that would go on my bucket list.

My ‘non-Bucket list’ would be very much the same as yours!

I managed Antarctica last year and that was a lifetime dream come true. I would love to trek to Everest Base Camp but accept that it’s beyond my capabilities now.

I have no desire to do anything like that. I have been on a roller coaster so I know what that's like.

I've done a bit of travelling and, as was discussed in a recent thread, sometimes it's enough to see the places on YouTube or the TV.

I am happy to experience things vicariously through my children and grandchildren.

I still like a challenge but my ancient bones would let me down now. If I could think of something easy and that I can afford, I would still like to do it.

Doing the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb was top of my bucket list. I never thought I would ever go to Australia, but met up with our 19 year old son there when he had been travelling for 6 months. It surpassed all my expectations and I’d love to do it again.

That sounds like a wonderful and unforgettable experience! Lucky you!
Not at all as remarkable, but as a person who is terrified of heights, I felt wonderful after my late husband gently persuaded me to go up the Eiffel Tower a few years ago. It turned out to be a moment I will treasure for the rest of my life, especially now that he has died.

That’s lovely Crossstitchfan that you faced your fear and have your treasured memories.

Some of you have done amazing things.
Imarocker, DIL did Everest basecamp. Her then boyfriend carried on to the top and left a photo of them both.
Crossstitchfan, I too am afraid of heights hence me wanting to challenge myself, but it’s not to be. Like Henetha I don’t think I could manage a mountain anymore, but I’ll have a look at what I could maybe do.

No bucket list for me though I can see why people have them. I do want a challenge - and am actually taking on one which is making me do lots of thinking and reflection - but am very happy not to do any daring things like parachute jumps!

Taking redundancy has enabled me to tick off loads on my bucket list ! To dance the salsa at the Rio Carnival, New Orleans Jazz tour, tour Italy and learn to speak Italian ….. a South Sea Island cruise seeing Tahiti, Bora Bora and Hawaii …. And actually today am ticking off another one, going to Niagara Falls ! I know I’ve been so lucky and treasure every moment.

I’d like to spend time in every county of the UK. They are all so different. I’ve been to many but there are lots I haven’t visited. I find our culture and history absolutely fascinating.

My DH was an adventurous "do it anyway" sort of person, and I think he married me because I've been pretty much up for stuff too. We had some great adventures.
I have a blank bucket list, and agree with others about sky-diving, potholing, cruising in a huge ship like a skyscraper.
I did have an idea about sailing on a cargo ship to Australia. But they'd probably say I'm too old at 79

No bucket list, but I’d like to see Norway and Switzerland.
A small ship cruise sounds lovely, but costs megabucks, alas
