      Of course! I am alway up for trying something wacky – although I am a bit old for it now. I was a surfer when I was younger. I have canoed rapids in big rivers in America. I have done rock climbing, and hang gliding and (one) parachute jump.

      I want to learn kite surfing next.

      Well it doesn’t stop me doing extreme sports 🙂 I spend a lot of my free time climbing. And I did go to a conference last year in Austria where we managed to do some skiing as well as learning. That was a lot of fun.

      Not as part of my job but I go snowboarding every year and scuba diving whenever I can.

      I like surfing as well but the English weather means I don’t go very often – I hate being cold.
