Never too late for you to do anything mel,a place in can recommend close to the UK is chamonix its ski central,first place I ever tried to ski was in India and I wasn't really into it,I have done cross country skiing which is big over here the neighbours are all into it,my lady is a skier and a snowboarder,its second nature to her,beats lying on a beach as a vacation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People think I'm touched tbh lol but my response is, if I'm gonna crash hard enough to do me a Schumacher, I'd rather just that be the end of it. I died doing something I love, in a place where my heart belongs, the mountains 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ahhh.. been planning that one for years. No idea when but I'll do it one day. Strangely, I've had loads of videos in my feed about summiting Everest recently and not just the good ones. I wanna get into kite skiing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
