Sunday 16th I believe
Luchtime and done enough today16th Feb
Got up at 6, had breakfast at 8 and went out to see about a canopy tour at 9. Got booked onto the 9-30 tour and went for safety talk, ( do not fall, remember to lift legs when approaching landing, brake to slow yourself down using your strongest hand (grab the wire behind the pulleys), once you are up there the only way down is the bottom of the last wire. There were 10 slides of varying length, some over 100m and 10 platforms high up in the trees. You will be 30 metres above the forest at the highest point. Oh yes and there will be 2 connections to the run wire and one to the safety wire. When on platforms 2 safety lines will be attached at all times.
Think that was it except order breakfast/lunch for after the trip. Off we went in a van to the start.
Onto the first wire and re run of the safety etc. then attach and off, was not actually scary, but views were fantastic, if you stopped mid wire which I managed 3 times you just pull yourself to the end hand over hand.
As you can see even done in bike trousers and boots, flip flops not allowed (no idea why).
At one point looking down there was what looked like a body
