Bucket list.

Bearing in mind the cost of “standard” track days, dare I say it, but that Jordan F1 experience looks good value.

Flown a Spitfire 😀 it’s every bit as brilliant as you’d imagine.

That’s ace.

I ticked off one of my top ‘bucket list’ items a few years back, I’ve flown a helicopter.  It’s a bit like the old “rubbing your belly whilst patting your head,” every time you add a bit to This control you have to take a bit off That one.  It’s deeply odd to get your head around but once it clicks it’s frikkin’ amazing.  I was allowed to land it also, the pilot said afterwards that they don’t always let students do that, it depends on their performance on the flight.

Oh, track days.

I’ve driven an Ariel Atom.  Truly, utterly bonkers machine.  Somewhere around 400 horses in something that weighs about the same as a butterfly’s fart.  Zero to sixty in oh shit there’s the corner.  The hot lap with the pro driver was something else, it was like being lashed to a powerball in a pinball machine.

Don’t wait till you’re retired to walk the GR10, you’ll suffer too much to enjoy it. Do it ASAP. And mix it with the HRP and Spanish GR11 which for some sections aren’t any harder but more out there.
