I like it, Ange. More extreme than I've done, but it does bring back good memories of Striding Edge and Sharp Edge in the Lake District.
Wonder where they got their travel insurance !

Wow! I was thinking, "Wouldn't a bodycam be safer than a handheld?" 😉😂

Hi Jim
You use the word extreme. Might I tell you my “extreme moment”?
Being persuaded by my “friends” that a day out to the Belvoir, team chasing, would be great fun! They were running a ladies team, fastest to finish class, first prize £1200 (if I remember rightly). Team of four, three to finish. The fences were described as 3’6”-3’9” with the rider THIS COURSE IS UP TO HEIGHT; remember this!
I couldn’t get to walk the course the day before, but no matter, we would just follow my nutcase shepherdess of a mate who would lead the way
We arrived on the day as a three; one had dropped out, so all to finish.
And they’re away!! The fences were enormous 😲. We were going like the proverbial, and likely to finish first. Three from home and guess who’s horse pecked in landing, depositing me unceremoniously. There’s a video of me somewhere running round in circles trying to work out what had happened, and my horse galloping to the finish. I maintain I was concussed 😂
I had a look at the fences afterwards. I couldn’t see over a good few of them they were so much “up to height”
So if you ever meet a 5’2” 6 stone shepherdess, don’t believe a bloody word she says.😉
My first and last team chase was both extreme and “exhilarating”.
Anyone else care to share there extreme moment🤪🥂
Oh my gosh.....I so couldn't do that....looks so
exciting though...

Hi Kaz58
Neither could I now! I was young, foolish and actually believed my conning, lying, so called friends, when they said it would be fun 😂😂😂🤪🥂
