The hardest thing I have ever had to do is drive tourists up a 500 metre elevation mountain road with no road barriers and sheer cliff and mountain drops right off the sides. I spent a whole summer volunteering to do this work, which I now think I was crazy to do. It was also combined with another big challenge, facing my fear of public speaking. I had to give the same bear safety speech every hour for 10 hours of every day, at the end of each 30 minute drive to the top of this mountain, before I was allowed to let them lose amongst the wild alpine meadow!
