Adventure with ropes and platforms

I had been wanting to try this out for a while, but never get around doing it.

Finally got an invitation from friends to do it together with them.

Here some photos to tell the stories.

The bus that transport us for about 2.1KM into the location.

All buckled up with the harness.

Tarzan hopping from one rope to another

The challenges were fun. My only complain, we spent too much time waiting.

Because there was a big group before us, and some of them were the "typical woman"
You know, those type that..."aaarhh... i scared...cannot jump ah.. aaaarggghh... i scared i hurt my nails...."
Make me wonder why they even bother to come for this "extreme sports" then.

We ended up spending about an hour waiting for them to finish the training round, and another hour for them to complete the 1st challenge. So, my advice, must try to get the 1st slot if we are going to do this again. So we won't need to waste those hours waiting.

Only then we are able to start. Our stomach were already growling while waiting.., so two of our friends went out and get breads for us.

After munching the bread, all of us have the energy, and all geared up to start the challenge.
There were about 17 challenges in total (they said 20, but the 20 is inclusive of 3 that is "mini challenge", which is actually the training ground...)

My favorite challenge(s) are : the Tarzan thingy and Flying Fox.
In one of the flying fox challenge, I was bounced back half-way (I was supposed to try to "hug" the tree and pull myself up to the platform, but instead, I kicked the tree and it sent me half-way back) and hang in the middle, and needed "rescuer". The "instructor" (ya, that's what they called them, the staffs whom "guard" the area in case anyone needs help) to threw another rope to me, and pull me over to the platform.

We were only done by about 4pm. All sweaty and hungry, we end the day with refreshing Root Beer Float & Corney Dog.....

And this morning, I woke up to a very aching but firmer muscles... Good workout I would say. :)
