As the young lad who followed us down the last zip slide said - "Absolutely Wow!"
Many thanks to our team of intrepid treetoppers - and very many thanks to the excellent guidance from the Rock Centre. What an excellent way to spend a Sunday morning!
The treetop adventure involved walking across a series of walkways between platforms up in the trees. The first walk was on wooden decking (2 planks wide). The next went to one plank wide, and the next went to stepping between planks suspended from rope. The final walkway was along a single rope, with rope rails to hold on to. The last couple involved a lot of swaying..and thought of how high we were and how far there was to go!
The zip slides were fantastic. As with other things like this - the first step is the worst. The feeling of whizzing through the trees then takes over. Very exhilarating.
Anyway, many thanks to everyone involved - and time for the sponsors to pay up. Every penny was well earned!

Treetop Adventure
Our next, long-awaited, event will take place on September 6th. It will be a sponsored treetop adventure at the Rock Centre. We will be taking a team of up to 12 people on a treetop expedition moving from tree to tree on zip slides, swings, rope bridges and much more. This will be a surefire winner if we can get 12 people to raise ~£100 each. Let's see how it goes!
