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.

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!

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🤪🥂

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 😂😂😂🤪🥂
