climbing and abseiling by Ellie


Today group 4 and I went climbing and abseiling with our instructor Kris. It took about 5 minutes to get there by mini bus.

It took five or more minutes to get to our destination by mini bus. But when we did I was super excited but also a bit nervous. Katie and I where last in the que, when it was finally my shot I attached the rope to my harness and began to climb slowly but carefully. When I was half way up I was a bit stuck my legs where to short, I eventually I managed to pull myself up and carry on climbing. At the top I unhooked the rope from my harness and went round the corner to get ready to abseiling.

When it was my turn to go down the cliff I was a bit scared I could see everyone else running about down below they all looked super duper small so I walked over and Kris told me what to do he said not to move your feet until you are almost vertical and to release the rope on your way down.  So I did so very very very slowly but as I go use to it I began to pick up speed  as I got use to it when I got down I was super proud   of myself and I wanted to it again but we did not have any time because we had to go back to the centre. this was the best activity i would love to do it again.
