I have been chosen to go first, my legs start to shake as I go up the mountain like stairs.Getting to the top, the gusting whin makes me feel like im going to topple off. they tie the ropes to my harness so I feel safe and secure but then I look down its like 100m tall.

I take my first steps plunging down the wall and so dose my friend Jono beside me. He is real good so he is already half way down. Taking very small ant like steps down the wall and every gust of wind I blow side to side like a spider hanging on to its web. It takes ages to get half way down an never ending wall. I start to get the hang of it and get down really quick.

Finishing my decent, I go and sit on the grass and ponder what adven tures I will have at the other activities! = = = =
