Friday fun or fright day 🤣
We all got up fairly early and were ready by 9.15am to leave the house as we were worried about getting stuck in road blocks due to the Race Down under tour coming through Aldinga.
We headed off and luckily there were no delays on our route to Tree top climb which is in Kuitpo Forest.
We arrived a little early which didn’t help with me and Darren’s nerves that’s for sure. We checked in, got our gloves and wrist bands then waited for our kit up time. At exactly 10.40 we kitted up with helmets and harnesses then watched a safety video before testing our equipment on the practice course. Then it was time to climb.
I’m not sure what changes as you get older but I never used to be worried about climbing and heights. And I still don’t mind being up high, I think my fear is more the falling 🤣
Well the first few high moving bridges were a real challenge but with a little coaxing from my best buddy and all round hero of a husband who is more scared of heights than me, I got over every obstacle in front of me. We managed three courses altogether and the fourth one I missed out to take pictures. Course 4 was definitely my favourite as it was mainly ziplines but I hate climbing the ladders.
I missed course 3 out but everyone else did it in style, even Darren 🦹
Fun for the boys and Rich, challenge for the rest of us but very proud of Darren and Carylin for smashing all the courses 💪🏽 So of course we deserved an afternoon drink 🍻 and lunch so we headed into Meadows for a pub lunch.
We found a great deal of Beef and salad grilled panini type sandwich with chips and a pint for $25 each which works out £25 in total for both of our lunches.
Bargain, tasty and very filling ❤️
Joseph had his favourite Schnitzel and chips with gravy and absolutely smashed it!!
Then it was home for a rest before Joseph’s cricket game with only the adults going to cheer him on.
Dinner was homemade beef burgers with the rest of the free rolls from the night before 🤪
Early night on a Friday so we were all fresh for Park run the next day 😴💤
