Go Ape!

During our reunion week in Birmingham, we went to Go Ape in Cannock
Chase. Before we went climbing (as we were supposed to be climbing over lunch), we went to Beckett's Farm near Birmingham for a breakfast. The most epic breakfast I have ever seen! This is supposed to be for 2 adults and 2 children. (There another 2 plates like mine you can't seen on the photo.) We definitely didn't need any lunch. Or dinner.
Epic Breakfast.
The area is beautiful and the weather was amazing. Go Ape is a tree top assault course. I love climbing but each time I do this, I find a new fear of heights! Though by the last section we were all swinging from the trees like experts with not a fear in the world. (Though I had a small accident near the end when I slipped from a platform and have some amazing huge bruises!)

Finished with our certificates! So proud!
When we got the end we were exhausted but it was great fun and we were all very proud we managed it. And with only a few bruises (except for me but I expected that: once a klutz, always a klutz!). Though we did rush home for showers. (At the end of the zip wires there is a bark pit where you land. And we all landed back first. Every time. The bark gets everywhere!)
