Big day out for everyone on Friday when we went on the Go Ape 'adventure' at Moors Valley. Five challenges in the treetops, involving rope bridges, high wires, Tarzan swings etc - all around 50ft up in the tree tops.
First time I've ever experienced a 'team building' exercise and it went really well.
I was dead scared, and some of the bridges really required a serious leap of faith to complete. I enjoyed the zip slides of course, but absolutely hated every second of the rail bridges, swinging about etc.
Everyone was very supportive of one another (well, there was one noticeable exception who didn't seem to get perhaps quite the mutual encouragement that everyone else shared) and the whole thing was very well received and exhilarating fun.
With hindsight, I perhaps should have done the Tarzan swing into the rope wall, but I couldn't face it at the time and chose instead to complete the last challenge via the high wire. In the end, this proved even more scary and I froze in the middle. JC was great and very supportive.
We all shared a massive lunch afterwards, which I left them all finishing off when I had to leave for the 'swimming and gymming' that goes on every Friday.
A face is forming from the pixelated blur.
Sally Three has a son called Elijah. Now that's unusual. Cool, but unusual. And considerably better than the 'Piper' and 'Willow' I met today, or any one of those bizarre acronyms that people use that seem to be popular, usually beginning with the letter 'K'...
Why is that?
