Narrator: I once went hiking in the middle of winter and got caught up in a snowstorm. I was with a friend and we were on a 100-kilometre trip in the mountains. The idea was to walk for four days, covering about 25 kilometres a day. For the first couple of days, everything seemed to be fine, but late in the evening of the third day, there was a really heavy snowstorm. The worst bit was the wind – it was so strong that it ripped our tent to pieces. So, at about three in the morning, we had to pack up everything and leave as quickly as we could. The problem was that it was really hard to see, and I was worried that we were going to fall down the side of the mountain. In the end, we just dug a hole in the snow and waited for the storm to die down. It was freezing and probably the worst night I’ve ever spent outdoors. As soon as it was light, we walked down the valley to a little village where we got a bus back home.

Narrator: The most adventurous thing I’ve ever done? It was probably when I went parachuting in the north of Norway. After a two-day preparation course, they took us out for our first jump. There were three of us in the back of the plane: Sandra (another beginner), me and the parachute instructor. The pilot climbed up to about 700 metres, and then the instructor opened a little door at the side of the plane. Sandra was first out, so she hooked up her parachute and then stood in the doorway. When the green light came on, the instructor tapped her on the shoulder and she jumped out. Now it was my turn. By then, my heart was thumping really hard. The red light was on again and the plane was circling round to the same spot so I could jump out. Waiting was definitely the worst part of it. Then, all of a sudden, I felt a tap on my shoulder and I jumped. There was a cold rush of air, then a sudden jerk as the parachute opened out. I remember floating there, looking up and down and thinking how small everything looked below and how quiet it was, apart from the distant buzz of the plane. But after a minute or so, the ground suddenly started coming up towards me really fast, so I got ready to land, and within a few seconds I was down. I just lay there taking it all in – not believing what I’d just done. It was incredible.
