On
Thursday the 13 of February 2015 with group 7 and our instructor Morna, I went to the ropes course with the help of
Shaun. Shaun and Morna helped us to get
our harnesses, helmets and clips on. I
was the model because I had a harness on but unfortunately it was the wrong
size so I got another one. Léo
and Flora got special red ones which meant they didn't need a weird thing. They only got them because they were the
smallest in the group. Fedya and Dylan
got the giant harnesses because they are the tallest in the group. I got an inbetween one like most of the
others. They also gave us our helmets;
most of us got red ones, the rest they got blue ones and Dylan got a blue one
because of his hair. Then we took a five
minute walk to the course. It was an
uncomfortable walk!
When
we got there, we got asked a question: would you like to start on the small
course or large courses? We chose the
large
I
was the model again but this time for a different piece of clothing. Then I was the first one in my group to
go. It was so so scary. With some effort, I managed to get up the
slippery log. Then I climbed up the
staples on the sides of the poles. Here
came the scary bit, walking across the wire holding onto a wobbly rope. When I got to the other side, I climbed up
more staples then there was a big log in the way and I was a big woose and
stopped and jumped off.
Next
it was Joanne's go. She was epic at it;
she didn't fuss one bit and she got all the way to the top and the end of the
top wire. Then it was Emily's go she was
amazing as well she got to the top too.
I felt bad that I had not gone to the top. After that it was Léo. On the way down, Léo
got caught on the wire. It was so
funny. After Léo
it was Fedya. He also got to the top but this time there was a difference, I
was attached to the rope. He was so
heavy I got a bit of a wedgie,when he was on the way down!
As soon as everyone had had their turn, we got some juice and had a
break. We got going again but before we
started we had a chat about how it was going to work. It was terrifying for me
and Joanne, mostly me though. I was only
terrified because I was the first to go up the pole, it was so scary. When I got up I was shaking so much that
Joanne shouted, "stop wiggling the pole!" When we were both up Jo Jo counted back from
5 it was funny because when she got to 3 she went faster and then we jumped...
We
both caught the trapeze we were both so happy that we did it. I was probably the most happy because I
didn't get to the top on the ropes.
