Kidnap and insanity

aka remind me why I agreed to this!

Today we orchestrated a kidnap. It's okay though, it was our friend and we untied him... eventually. It's his birthday so what better to do than kidnap him, drive him into the woods and assault him... an aerial assault course that is.

I was feeling very ill yesterday, I wondered if I'd be well enough for this. I was still wondering this as we arrived at Go Ape in Peebles and the nerves didn't help. I am quite nervous of heights. It's not so much the height itself that is a problem but the possibility of falling. We harnessed up and had our safety briefing, even seeing all the safety measures didn't put my mind at rest. Really simple first obstacle - didn't get any easier from there on in. I did complete it all. I only took a panic attack once after a very high, very tricky obstacle with the thought of the zipline into the forest on the other side of a pond ahead of me. I finished it though, terrified and shaking but in one piece.
