Model Helicopters !! About £500, and you're guaranteed to crash and burn it within 5 mins.
 
Mountain walking:

Pros:
Lovely views
Clean air
Get to buy lots of cool equipment
Friendly people

Cons:
Driving all the way to Scotland to do Ben Nevis (not so many ginger people as I thought there would be, go figure!)
Hundreds of pounds in physio bills after a few nasty falls
Equipment now in cupboard as physiotherapist has banned me from exercise for a couple of months
I'm from Surrey (no hills)
 
Converting used Christmas trees into security devices.

BTW, Why is that No one knows the origins of their metal coat hangers?

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in
