Dorset - 23 Oct 2007
Hello Everyone,
It is crazy to believe that I have been living in London for almost 2 months now. All day I have been in the strangest mood I have ever known in my life being at the same time painfully reminiscent about the past and surprisingly content with my life at the moment. Things really are working out well here.
Brenscombe Camp
Middle. Of. Nowhere
Maybe I should have showered after a day of orienteering....When we did the rock climbing we had to tie all the ropes correct and went climbing and abseiling (rappelling) up and down some cliffs overlooking the ocean. I was the only one that was jumping away from the wall during the rappelling instead of just slowly climbing down. The guide jokingly yelled down that it was "sexy"!
Climbing at Dancing LedgeOn the last day we had the ropes course, which was a lot more challenging than I expected. The hardest and most rewarding part was a challenge called Jacobs Ladder. This was a 35 foot ladder that was handing from a beam up above. The rungs started out a foot or two apart but by the top they were at least 7-8 feet. We had to get the entire team up to the very top of the ladder while still maintaining our balance, it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do! Another activity was one that involved us shimmying up a 20 foot pole, standing on top of it and jumping to a trapeze that was hanging 5 feet away. Being somewhat afraid of heights I never thought I would be able to do either of these!
The ladder that almost spelled the death of me....and Randy....and AmberI have posted a few pictures from this last weekend, however because I had no memory card with me, I could only take 6. I had a lot of people ask where I posted pictures, there are some on facebook but a lot also on my webshots account here: http://community.webshots.com/
Well thats about it for now. I hope that everyone is still well and will talk to you soon!
Cheers!
Sean
