      Riding On top of an elephant

      If anyone can beat that I will post another few toppers
      Since elephants shouldn't be ridden, that's not something I'd consider to be proud of.

      The best for me?
      Sailing a cat to Jost Van Dyke.
      In a tent surrounded by wild elephants in Samburu, Kenya
      Whale watching in De Hoop (RSA)

          Not done but could have in the past life as a permie:-

          1. Oil Rig in north sea. (Bottled that one when I found out there was mandatory "upside down helicopter in swimming pool" training. I can't swim so **** that).

          2. Kandahar airfield. (Bottled that one too. You need to have your own body armour and helmet to fly into there. Saying that the lad who did go makes £1000s in danger bonus even as a permie!)

              If you apply for a contract role in a unique location like Falklands , Christmas Island, Hawai or Antarctica, then the agent always tells you that the end client is looking for someone local.

                The desert outside Palmyra, Syria. Seeing the sunrise at Palmyra was the most incredible spectacle - It broke my heart to see its demise and that of the director of antiquities at the hands of Daesh.
