Canyon Swing . . . (link)

I was advised to do this Canyon Swing and to do it backwards as its such a different experience. The guys decided that there was a ladies first policy and as I was the only one there I stepped up and went for it as all the boys stood back and cowered away!!! (not kidding!)

The 'Gimp Boys' tried there best to scare me giving it 'you can change your mind now if you want' and 'ooh, backwards!' 'that rope doesn't look very safe' 'watch that rope doesn't tangle around your neck' etc etc but it wasn't working!!! I was well up for it after the Nevis yesterday!

They asked if I wanted to look over the edge and pretended to puch me off too which I found hiarious and then I stood backwards on the end, diving board style and they really started messing with me!!

They kept getting me to lean back and pretending to drop me but I laughed all the time and so they continued to try and get a bigger reaction from me. They were so funny, so finally I stood on my own and just leaned back and jumped as far as I could again!!! Just as I jumped they shouted 'Noooo, don't jump!' and gave me a huge shock! As my hands were tucked behind my head my natural instinct was to try and run back up to the platform so as I jumped my legs were just wiggling around as though I was swimming! It was so funny!!! I then just swang around for a while in the canyon and it was great fun.

When they pulled me back to the top one of the guys said 'my mother warned me about girls like you who don't get scared!' whihc made me feel well happy!!!!

It was great, not on the same level as The Nevis, but the crew really made it for me!

109m high, 60m freefall, 200m swing! GOOD TIMES!!!!
