Most of the above plus....a Coracle :-)

+++DetEcTive+++

Was that very easy?
OH has a coracle but I've never tried it.

Gwyn

It was years ago as a child on a family holiday in Wales. The owner paddled it.

Other than the shape and structure, all I can really remember is my father arguing with the owner about the cost! As far as I can recall, it was a bit tricky to get in.

If your OH's one is watertight, have a go. All that can happen is that your'll get wet :-D

Ah goggled Tuc Tuc a rickshaw.

Thanks

I'll at least wait until the weather warms up before I try the corracle.
Cold is one thing.
Cold and wet is not nice !

Gwyn

tuc tucs are those motorised rickshaw type things they use in Thailand

Rode elephant in two zoos - Dublin and Hamburg
Jaunting car

Lately wheelchair and electric buggy

Do stilts count?

Nobody seems to have been in a hot air balloon. My brother in law used to fly one and my sister helped him when they had a static display at a fair. A sudden gust of wind caught it and took it up then dashed it down. He got burns on the back of his legs, she got a back injury. Sister and her husband (not the b-i-l I mentioned before) have been hanggliding. She gave up when she injured her tailbone in a landing. He has also given up after a serious accident which left him in a coma for a week. I was never game to try any of those things.

Anybody done a bungy jump or doesnt that count? Not that I have tried that either.

Huia.

...just remembered .. Petrol Tanker

A man in our road when I was a child used to drive his tanker to his home when he popped in there for lunch.
Sometimes he would drive by our house and my little sister and I used to clamber into the cab to drive the approximately 100 yards to his house, then we'd get out and run home.

Gwyn

flown by the seat of me pants :-D

Sandie's posting reminded me of my trip in a lifeboat.

Back in 1960s my friend's father was a coastguard and he arranged for her and I to go out on the local lifeboat, when they went out on a training exercise.
Feeling like our stomachs had been left at the top of the slipway as the boat slid into the water was very strange.

Gwyn

anyone remember chairoplanes at the funfair? and those huge swingboats
