Flying squrriels

I went zip lining! It was so much fun. I was a bit nervous about going on my own but our guides were great. I was picked up from our hotel and we drove up into the mountains. It took about an hour to get to the office, through some beautiful scenery. Once there we were given a t'shirt and then taken to gear up with a full harness and helmet. A quick group photo then we were off to the start of the course. We began with a relatively short zip line, which was enough to start with. We were all relatively nervous. But a few more lines in and we all felt like pros. Some of the really long lines seemed to go on forever, 600m is a long way when your flying above the trees! Just when we were staring to feel really comfortable there were some high ropes aspects, a cargo net to climb up, a swing bridge to walk across and then there was the bike and skateboard to be ridden across a zip line! We ended our trip with a tandem line and then the biggest fastest slide I've been on in years! It was so much fun. I loved the whole exercise. Then it was back to the office for lunch before the van took us back to our hotels. Such a cool experience. Would recommend it to anyone not too scared of heights :)
