A month ago I had no idea that on a Saturday afternoon in November I'd be hanging 30 metres above the ground
and enjoying it. Now I looked down at the river far below me, and realised why people love rock-climbing.
My friend Matt and I had arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation wasn't wonderful,
but we had everything we needed (beds, blankets, food), and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh
air.
On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends,
Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. We had come from various places and
none of us knew the area.
We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the
morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the
caves first. Climbing out was harder than going in, but after a good deal of pushing, we were out at last - covered
in mud but pleased and excited by what we'd done.
