Sledding in Trees

That was not a misprint my friends. Not through or around but in....

We are a little museumed out (hey, it happens to the best of us) so we decided to take a little adventure in Munich, aka high ropes course!

For those of you who do not know what this is, I will try to give you a little background info. Ropes courses are suppose to be challenging and fun. There are different courses, usually between trees, called elements. An element can consist of many different things but usually involves wire cables, balancing, and getting from point a to point b. The place that we went to had elements 20 to 40 feet up in the air so we were also harnessed into a cable that was conneted at all times.

It was so much fun and all of the elements were very different. They had ziplines, skies hanging that you had to walk across, a tarzan style swing, hanging milk crates to walk accross, a tunnel, and much much more.

My personal favorite was the sled. They had this sled hooked up on wire cables that ran between two trees for about 30 feet. It was old school and I had to hunch over and everything. Bryan like the tarzan swing the best and was excited to go ziplining for the first time.

It was really funny watching the people who worked there trying to explain the directions to us (it is a self belay system) beacuse they did not speak very much english. I kept filling in vocab words for them like harness and cable until eventually they said just watch and demonstrated instead. All and all is was great fun (even for Bryan who is not so keen on heights...)
