[Closed] The 'one day' list'

- Cycle around the world
- Go into space

I want to do a City Slickers-type cattle drive across somewhere like Wyoming or Montana

I want to be mortgage free before I die.

– I am serious about when I retire or before seeing if I can walk/ride/public transport to the compass point extremity cafe’s in Europe.

Don't want to pi$$ on your chips, but that's going to take longer than the one day you've set yourself...

One day I'd like to have time to build a massive network of awesome trails on my local hills.

Motorbike around the Baltic Sea
Win a world or European championship in skydiving

Oneday Someday. "That's a dangerous word. It's really just a code for 'never'".
#RoyMiller 😉😊

Sail across an ocean - not on a cruise ship, but my own wee boat.

Walk the Camino (Frances) Compostella

See the green flash

Couple things planned for my early retirement...

I want to paddle a canoe from my house in Burton to my house near Arbroath. So down the Trent into the Humber and then up the East Coast.

AND

I want to go back to Tromsø but with our campervan rather than flying (so basically a big Scandinavia road trip).

Coke and hookers.

I want to go back to Tromsø but with our campervan

We were planning on doing this on our European road trip a few years ago. We landed at Bergen, drove for a couple of days, looked at where we were on the map against where Tromso was, and realised it was a bloody long way up... We went back to Denmark 🙂

Travel Europe for a year in a VW California thru the Alps/Pyrenees/sierra Nevadas and bike/snowboard all the best places.

Easy: Tour Divide

bloody long way up

Yep, don't think I will have enough time until retirement. Plan is to do the whole road trip over 6 months or so.

Don't tell mrs_oab, I think I have persuaded her it will only be 'one day'... 😉

Stather or Lincoln?

Two chicks at once

I've got more...

Bike:
- Tour divide
- Europe corner-to-corner (Cap St Vincent to Nordkapp)
- Dempster Highway
- Track racing (almost the complete opposite!)

Travel/explore:
- Alaska generally
- Some sort of Canadian expedition, canoe or ski based for winter
- Mt Elbrus
- Some sort of ski mountaineering
- A fortnight in a Scandinavian cabin skiing, exploring and having saunas
- Ural mountains
- Carpathian mountains

Other:
- Move to Sweden

A good night's sleep.

Sail across an ocean – not on a cruise ship, but my own wee boat.

It would be possible to get a bus from my house down in to Cardiff, walk to the bay, pick up a boat, sail across the Atlantic, up the Great Lawrence river into the Great lakes and to the town where my in-laws live, moor up and walk over to their house. A bit difficult to achieve though in reality since I don't know enough about sailing.

If we are allowed more than one day..

A big river canoe trip in Canada
A proper US road trip
A European bike tour without a plan
LEJOG
Sail to St Kilda

Current one would be to ride from where I live in Madrid to where I was born in London.

Plus lots of places I'd like to visit, with Tokyo probably top of the list at the moment.

@stretch…

Stather or Lincoln?

- Burton on Trent!

Canadian expedition

- on my canoe to do list as well.

In descending order of likelihood:
Ride to my folks place in Dartmoor (from Twickenham) in a day, back the next.
LEJOG
LEL
Visit Patagonia / Antarctic
Visit the Galapagos
Tour Divide route, probably not race pace.
Scubadive the Silfra gap in Iceland

Get off my arse and do something on my one-day list before I retire and realise I am too old and broken to really enjoy it

One of those motorbike adventures from the tip of Alaska to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, or Portugal to Kamchatka, or similar.

Keep dipping in and out of ItchyBoots on YouTube, just looks like a perfect way to experience the world.

Do another winter season in either British Columbia or the US Rockies skiing and snowboarding before my knees pack up.

Megavalanche.

Since retiring from full time work I have crossed the USA by bike 3 times and been for a few road trips in western USA. I like the USA. I feel another bike trip in a year or two. Perhaps repeating my Washington DC to SAn FRancisco tour. Most enjoyable of the 3 as in best variety of scenery and least sections on busy roads. Almost none in fact.

Retire to Canada.
13yrs 11mths to go . .

Biking in BC.
Maybe popping down to Washington State to ride a bit more and see Twin Peaks country too.

never heard of the Dempster Highway, looks good

Ride across America, Visit New Zealand, Round the World Cruise.

That's pretty much my bucket list. I am sure it will change if my kids ever present me with some grandkids.

Road cycling in the US is a bit scary though, I'd prefer an off-road expedition there.

Canoeing expedition might be better off done in Finland - similar experience, hundreds of miles of calm lakes all joined together, with support and a safety network. Not sure about the Yukon river, might be a bit too dangerous!

Good call on the Dempster Highway. My ‘one day’ used to be the Trans Canada trail & The Tibetan Plateau. (Not both in the same day obs)
I’m 65 though so need to get my finger out.

Hmmm....
Be with the woman I truly want to be with - and it's not my wife (long story that involves me being shat on from a great height).

That would do.

Spending a night or preferably a few with somebody.

Its been a while, a long long while
