Rain Rain Go Away

Posted by Kara Buckner

After two straight days of drizzle, I’m hoping the weather clears tomorrow.

Based on the results of the Choose Your Own Adventure Poll, I’m scheduled to do an aerial obstacle course, and something tells me it’s not as much fun — and much more difficult — when it’s wet and soggy.

The course (which is marketed as “The Adrenalin Forest” — cue strobe lights and booming cracks of thunder) is located in Spencer Park, about 20 minutes outside Christchurch.

It consists of an intricate series of ropes and pulleys that stretch more than 1 mile and are 65 feet off the ground at their highest point.  Typically, it takes about 3 hours to complete, and you need to be a height of at least 1.45 meters to do the entire thing.

You, shutty. I AM tall enough.

For obvious reasons, I will not be taking photos or videos.  But maybe I can bribe someone on the ground to shoot something for me.

Wish me luck!
