Adrenalin forest 2K18

Adrenalin Forest 

Year 8 EOTC week.

On Thursday November 29th  the year 8s went to adrenalin forest and spencers park for one of our EOTC week activitys. we were split up into 2 groups, in my group I had a lot of my friends which was good because that way I had lots of support on the high ropes. I had so many favourite parts but the best part was probably the feeling of getting back to the ground after being on the high ropes. I found most of it challenging as I am quite short and with some of the courses you have to reach up to attach the safety clickers to the wires and with some I had to jump.

My biggest accomplishment of the day was getting through 5 courses.
