An adventure is a dangerous and exciting experience. Love of adventure is an innate quality. It is with the person from his birth. Gordon Cook was the descendent of Capt. James Cook, who had taken up round the world voyage 200 years ago. So Gordon had this quality in his blood. Young Swinburn’s climb of Culver Cliff in the isle of Wight is an act of courage. People involve in such acts of courage because of their love for adventure.

This is a nature’s gift to the person. This longing to succeed in life has to be satisfied. One should take precaution that such acts of courage do not harm others. We should not indulge in such activities at the cost of others. The instinct is noble. It strengthens man’s character. It develops in him the qualities of determination. It enlivens their spirit. Gives them endless happiness. Such people should always be encouraged by us. There are risks involved. But such achievements are rare and are never overlooked.
