Number 18 - Ride in a Helicopter

03 May 2015

This one has been on the list since the beginning, its one that I had no clue when I would be able to achieve it, it’s just not something you wake up and do. Still, the story behind this is that I was awarded a Red Letter Day from work to the value of £250 - result! There were all kinds of things available to do; some time back in 2014 I decided...
