ZIP-LINE ADVENTURE!











While Daryl's friends from Halifax were staying with us, they treated our family to an evening of ziplining at a business called "Adrenaline" which is halfway between Sooke and Victoria. They gave us a short course on safe zipping, helped us into our harnesses, and took us 5 kilometres up into the bush in their ATV's. Once you start the first zip line, you must finish it, as you zip from tree top to tree top. the lowest zipline was 50 feet in the air, so it was a bit of a struggle for Karen as she is "mildly" afraid of heights. (no time like the present to deal with your issues, eh?) Here are some action shots.

The two shots of Karen are on the same zipline, which is 1 kilometre long. The shot of Daryl is on the fastest zipline, where an adult will zip about 65 km's an hour (which is why he is so blurry.... it has nothing to do with the fact that Karen can't work the camera)

That is wild! I so want to do this when I visit you! You know... whenever that might happen. Sigh. What did Justin, Gavin and Shayla think?
