Robin’s Wood
A few days ago we went to a ropes course in the woods near Rain (pronounced rine). There are platforms where you climb a ladder up to and you wear a harness with attachments to connect to wires above you. We had to go through obstacles to get from platform to platform. One of the obstacles was you had to go through a zig zag of planks that moved as you stepped on them because they were attached by wires above. When you are going through the obstacles there is nothing below you except the wire you would stand on and then eight meters of air and then the ground. It was really fun. Even when it started to rain. The trees were so thick we barely got wet. We would get down from the platforms by a zip line. You would hook your connector onto a wire above you and jump off the platform. You just have to be lucky that gravity would not grab you and swing you around backwards. When I went down the zip line that actually happened to me but I was fine because our instructor told us to swing our feet in a walking motion and that would wear off energy from the swing and you would not fall down or hit anything and it worked.
