Subhrajit says: May 8, 2013 at 11:04 am The only thing is half items of this list is not adventure e.g. Kite Flying is not an adventure. It is for the kid inside you. Reply

Thrillchimp says: June 12, 2013 at 10:05 am Completely understand your point of view Subhrajit. Kite flying may not be adventurous but it does get very exciting:) Still next time, well limit it to properly classifiable adventure
