 * Standing in the cold, gooey mud I'm terrified! My legs are shaking because there in front of me is the 25 metre high Abseiling wall.**
 * To me it looks like a unbelievable high wall that reaches the sky. I'm Stoked that in a few minutes I will be trying to slowly make my way down what looks as high as Mount Everest.**


 * " Okay, can I please have another two kids up here please" I faintly hear one of the instructors call.**
 * Oh No! It's finally time to Conquer the beastly wall. Niamh decides to go down with me which calms me down a little. But not enough. Then out of the blue I get super excited that i get to try something new. So I start powering up the stairs like a bullet forgetting that Niamh was still at the bottom of the stairs. I walk down a few stairs so that Niamh can catch up to me. When she caught up my nervousness came back, because we were now at the top!**
 * As I look over the wall I hear people shouting my name. " Yeah! You can do it. Go Alex!!!!!"**


 * "Okay whats your name?" asks the instructor.**
 * "Uh, Alex" I say.**
 * " Ok then Alex do you know what to do?" She asks.**
 * " Yes!" I say confidently. The instructor then tightly attached my harness to the thick paper white coloured rope. I steadily make my way down the wall step by step gripping the rope as it as I could until my bare hands went red. Letting the rope slowly slip through my hands. Once I got the hang of it I made my way down the wall faster and it was really fun! But i still wanted to be on the ground. My shoes were very slippery with mud so every now and then I would slip. My toes finally touch the ground as I say,**
 * " Yay, that was fun"**
 * I had heaps of fun even though it was scary. For a few minutes I watched other people go down, Including Niamh. Then we go down to do the rest of our exciting activities.**
