Calling all adventurists

ad·ventur·ist - Involvement in risky enterprises without regard to proper procedures and possible consequences, especially the reckless participation in exploits or affairs of regions.

We rather admire theadventurists.com However we embrace being amateurs and extraordinary gentlemen (and quite possibly women too) for whom challenge is not tourism but personal discovery followed by a cup of Earl Grey.

In that spirit I would like to propose that collectively we all come up with a challenge and better of us will be the person who performs the best across all the challenges. In order for a challenge to be valid it must not be boring, but should be difficult and preferably legal. It must be accepted by at least three people and completed by at least one.

Please email me your challenges to timhjrogers@googlemail.com and I will create a web-page to post these for everyone to see any anyone to participate. If you have a specific date or venue you need to explain this in your challenge.

Please be clear, this is not a club or a business. If you are mad enough to come up with an idea and daft enough to do it you do so at your own risk. See http://www.darwinawards.com/

As a starter perhaps think about Tough Guy (cross-country run + assault course = mud, sweat and beers) on 29 January 2012
