Hill walking?
One fine Irish summer day I was with my scout troop trekking up a random mountain. Due to the nature of the Irish weather this meant 20 young teens being boiled alive trudging through miles of steep wet muggy bogland. Having gained the top our leader announced that we had accomplished our goal and now return to camp confident in the knowledge we had "achieved" something today. Being considerably bolloxed I was not in much of a mood for the inevitable trudge back down the mountain. Cue my genius idea of using my quality plastic raincoat as a sled which slid remarkably well on wet soggy mountainside. ZIP and hahaha was all my troop heard as I rocketed past them at considerable speed towards the mountains feet sliding to a comfortable stop. Three quarters of an hour later a red faced leader storms up to me asking what the hell I was doing. I explained in simple terms. I was then informed that I had nearly broke my coccyx bone or could have been raped by a lonely old hiker man. Mountains are dangerous.

I did this in the Lake District with a clip-board
It took hours to get to the top of Pillar Rock, minutes to get down again.
