29th Sep - Emily's high rope adventure party

Sleepover friends show off their modelling abilities.

 Anticipating the adventure.

 Going through the safety preps: a mixture of nerves and smiles.

 All kitted out and ready to begin.

 Listening to the pre-course talk.

 Let the adventure begin.

 Moving the rope inbetween obstacles proved one of the hardest parts at times.

 Getting into the swing of it.

 Showing how safe it really is to fall off - and get back on again of course!

Getting higher now.

 Taking a zip-wire swing.

 Quite a stretch between rope holds on this one.

 Relief to have reached the post.

 Look- one hand!

 Take that leap.

 Controlled falling became the highlight for some.

 Brave stretch.

 Such concentration. Refused to let herself feel scared.

 Becoming desperate (for a wee) at this stage.

 You can do it. Go On. Jump.

 A helping hand.

 Can she reach it? Yes she can!

 Pretty high now. And the wind whipped up.

 The rope holds became higher and higher to reach.

 Oops. Tangled rope. Back-track, turn around and try again.

 First one down.

 Its Ok. The gap isn't really as long as it looks.

 Hooray.

 "That was amazing. Can I do it again?"

 Getting more nervous reaching the high parts now.

 Encouraging those still up.

 Get your balance right.

 You can do it. Be brave.

 Well done.

 Phew. Not long to go now.

 Pep talk for taking the plunge to jump.

Yey. Actually quite enjoyed this bit.

Team photos.

Waiting for well-deserved tea.

New game.

Another first - birthday cake in the boot to avoid the wind beating her to the blowing out of the candles.
