What's on your bucket list?
Discussion
As per thread title.
Being pretty contented with my lot, having done most things I set out to do, there are still a few things on my bucket list
I would love to travel to America, hire a Harley and travel from LA to New Orleans following the exact route Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda took in Easy Rider in 1969
Then do The Yorkshire three peaks walk, Ingleborough/Whernside/Pen-y-Ghent....been meaning to do this since the 70's
but never got round to it.
There's a couple of things that spring to mind, how about you?

There's a few museums over in the US I'd like to visit but I was lucky enough visit Tucson Arizona to tick the Desert Boneyard off my list a few years back along with the next door museum.
Be careful though, whilst visiting the boneyard I found out about a former missile silo complete with missile that is now a museum, so I ticked one place off my list and added another...

Apt thread for me. Was planning on writing up a bucket list this month but was struggling a bit for inspiration. I’ve visited 130+ countries so far and done a lot of the traditional bucket list stuff so a lot of the things I want to do are fairly mundane and reasonably achievable.
I want to go fishing and camping in a true wilderness. So Canada or Alaska.
I want to drive the NC500.
I want to drive a proper US road trip passing through Monument Valley.
Visit Oradour sur Glane in France.
A track day.
I need some inspiration!

I would like to do the usual Route 66 in a Mustang thing sometime. Although I hate flying with a passion, as I did it a lot for work when I was younger and the novelty completely wore off. I have been to the British GP, the TT and am now a regular at Le Mans, but I`d like to go to Spa one day, maybe the LM Classic too.
I want to see the Northern Lights somewhere 'proper'... Norway or Sweden will do nicely. Seeing them is this country is exciting (not managed it yet!) but there is just something about seeing them in Scandinavia that calls to me.
I also want to walk the South West Coast Path in one go.
Might be lesser ambitions to some, but they'll do me.

I have seen the northern lights in the UK and the far north of Norway (100 miles north of the Arctic circle) and I will say they looked far better in Norway. One of my neighbours has produced an app. for people wanting to see them here, but mostly they are only visible via your camera. I also want to walk the South West Coast Path in one go.

On my bucket list seeing polar bears in the wild, visiting Antarctica, climbing the 214 Wainwrights in the Lake District, seeing Gorillas in the wild, fly in a Spitfire.

Always fancied that, but unfortunately I sweat so much that however many weeks of it would end with every single item rotting or disintegrating and my skin falling off. I will do it in a floating bath chair when the technology is there.
A pal did the hardest section over a few days, which I think is somewhere between Bideford and Tintagel, and took a right kicking.
