Thrill Points #4: Tree Tops Thrills

Almost the last one.This is exhausting. After this I have to do a count of points so that we know who has what points. I'm fairly certain Gryffindor is coming last. Remember, you don't blog about what you did, there are NO points. There should be photos unless they were prohibited and you have proof that you went.

Back in Wellington, well just outside in a smaller city/town thing, there is a place called Adrenalin Forest. It's a high ropes course on the trees. The lowest level is 3 metres up at the highest point,  the highest level is 31 metres at its highest point. You get a harness with two carabiners and a pulley and a pair of gloves. No helmets, you can get one but you don't need it.

After a short safety demonstration, you are free to start. I started at level 2 because there was a bunch of smaller children on level 1. At the lowest point level 2 is 3m and at the highest it's 7m. Level 2 was easy, it's nickname on the sign is "Adventure" There were barrels to slide through, monkey bridges, flying foxes, rope swings, Indiana jumps (Indiana Jones) and lots of cool stuff.

Then I moved onto level 3, called "Excitement"  4m low, 12m high. This level was a little scary because the "bridges", a wire to hold onto and a wire to walk on get longer and the challenges get harder and everything gets higher. One part of this level was a wire you walk across and you are attached to a rope, you hold onto this rope to keep your balance and pull the second rope in he other direction at you move along the wire. There was also one were you had to get across a gap using only stirrups attached to ropes, that was difficult.  

Level 4 was called Thrill, that amused me. I'd like to point out that I skipped level 3a because there were too many people on it, I went back to it later. Level 4 freaked me out. 4m low, 21 METRE HIGH! And you didn't just stand still that high up, oh no, you had to get past logs and what not, I was within my rights to freak out, one person had to be rescued from that level. What did I do on this level? The longest monkey bridge I have ever since, massive flying foxes, I love flying foxes,, walked over see-saw logs, that was an experience, Jumped off stuff, travelled on a snowboard many metres in the air with no snow in sight, you know, normal stuff. At one point I was so freaked out that I literally had to talk myself through it, so I didn't lose my mind, scream and ask to be rescued, it worked. So, the highest I got was 21m and the highest level was "Thrill", funny no?

I went back to level 3a, it was perfect, the height was great and the challenges were challenging but fun. 4 to 15m in height, there was see-saw logs again, a flat net to walk across, a snowboard, rope bridges, crossed logs and the amazing Commando Flying Fox. Yes, I liked this level best, it was known as "Excitement+" which was fine by me.

Ok, so they aren't the best pictures but mum had a hard time because of the height. My brother got to the top level, 31m, got stuck on the 5th at one point because he was tangled butit's ok, he got untangled and we didn't leave him behind.

Now, for thrill point counting, guys, I need to know how many points each of these is worth.

Love Zara.
