Lauren's Camp Report 2011

The Abseil

My favourite activity at camp was abseiling. It was on the first day and it was the second activity we did. Isobel and I were the first two people to walk up the e n d l e s s steps. I was so terrified. When I got to the top Isobel went first, she made it look so easy, however I was still at the top. My hands were sweating, my heart beating. Olly, our instructor, told me to lean back in the harness and walk down the wall, so I did. I heard voices saying, “You can do it!” As I started going down the wall, I was so scared. 
What if I fall? 
What if I let go of the rope?! As I go to the middle my confidence built and it was more fun than I expected and I thought it was quite easy. I finally got to the bottom and I felt amazing.
