We had a friend round in the week who has just got back from Australia.She went all on her own and while there learned how to surfboard

"So what!" I hear you say. Well,Kim is 78! I only hope I have a similar tale to tell when I am 78.

Anyone else got ant daring senior cit tales?

My mum sounds just like Kim, she went to Aus last year and learnt how to sandboard (surfing on sand) [msnsmile]

This year she is backpacking in Borneo [msneek], she's 75 and decided the tour of California she wants to do is far too sedate till she's older.

She goes completely on her own since Dad died and has loved every minute of it. She has just about toured the world now. My mum is sooo cool [msncool]

OK Rosie,who will ever top that? I wouldn't contemplate doing that now,let alone at 75!

I jumped out of a plane when I was 18, now I don't even jump out of bed in the morning!!![:O] Unless it is the morning I am flying back to Florida of course!![8D] I am a bit off of 70, but hey inspiration or what? I love to see and hear how active folk are when they reach their senior years

I passed my motorbike riding test when I was three months pregnant!

Ok I was 38 but I would love to skydive and go up in a fighter jet seperatly I don't want to skydive out of fighter jet of course LOL!!!!!

My dad ran (and completed) the London marathon for the first time the day after his 61st birthday and then again 2 years later to prove it wasnt a fluke.

Now he's nearer 75 his knees won't stand it but he has obviously passed the taste for adventure to my half sister (32), she and her husband took a years sabbatical from their jobs last Oct and have been backpacking around the world since then. They've just reached New Zealand having spent the last 5/6 months in South America and Brazil. They've got a long way to go to catch up with some of these golden oldies here though.

Wow how inspirational, hope I am that active at that age!!

My gramps is 96 and although his sight is not so good, he looks after himself pretty well since my Grandma died two years ago. I will admit we never thought he would cope as being a typical man of his era, couldnt even boil an egg!!

Mum passed her driving test first time when she was 69.
