Now the children are safely back at school and I have regained my sanity (slightly), I can tell you a bit about my adventures at Center Parcs this summer. We are Center Parcs veterans and have done it all over the years, except for the tree trekking, this was a first.
I've always fancied it and as I am more adventurous in my 40's than I ever was in my 20's, my 13 yr old and I took to the trees together. It was damp and drizzly and I was wishing it to be called off as had been my 9 yr old's football earlier in the day. No such luck! We were off...
I had to keep encouraging 13 yr old Lewys that he could do it and not to look down. He was in front of me and if he could do it, well....I could too. I was concentrating so hard I forgot about the rain and my worries about slipping. I knew we were harnessed in well and there was no chance of us actually falling more than an inch. The most difficult part was about half way along, and once I was over that I was flying (well, almost). I thought the Zip Wire was going to be the easy bit, but I just couldn't jump. It just seemed so far, across the lake...OMG. I'm not sure what happened in the end. Did I jump? or Was I pushed? Whatever happened I was screaming my way accross the lake and my applauding family. I can't wait to do it again!
