Extremes

While some people sit on the sofa being armchair warriors while watching a war film, or stand in the pub telling the rugby team on TV how it should be done, others actually do it. The Army used to make us do things that we often did not want, from climbing to parachuting, rugby, boxing and sking. Some I loved and some I hated, but we all did it unlike most of the civvies out there.

This guy was buzzing the cliff edges along the Nerja coast on both days we were there and I felt quite envious as this is the one thing that I never got to do , but wished I had. A mate of mine, Billy, still climbs mountains at almost 60 years old, so maybe I should prove to myself that I am not over the hill for this sort of thing and get back to one last extreme. By the way took this standing in a clifftop pub on Christmas Eve.
