The final five goals have been selected! 95 + 5 = 100 I originally came up with 95 goals, and asked for your suggestions for a further five goals to add to complete the list of 100 goals. The suggestions came flooding in, and you can see a list of some of them below. I narrowed the list down to twenty goals which really appealed to me, and opened the list for voting for a week. After all the votes have been counted, and multiple votes from the same IP address have been removed, the final five goals added to the list are as follows: Thanks to everyone who voted, or made a suggestion. I am a bit surprised that I have never been white water rafting, as I have done a bit of canoeing on white water rivers. Just never been in the right place at the right time, I suppose! At college I used to do alot of mountaineering, and have not been out walking in the mountains now for years, so I am really looking forward to seeing some of these special places. Riding an ostrich sounds like great fun! An active volcano would be an awesome sight. And finally, a night in a haunted house makes me a bit nervous, although I am a bit skeptical too! If you want, you will also be able to join in with any of the goals too (except the haunted house, as I am supposed to do that alone!), for further details, see the "Join In" and "Help Out" pages. The other fifteen from the top twenty picks were as follows, and many of the other suggestions are listed further below:
