rock climbing and absailing

we started at 9.00 driving to the polytech to meet our guides and we played a game and then started driving to Charleston. Then we got our helmets and then walked the walk.I got to the top and it was the most beautiful sight.The waves were crashing do, the cliffs were high and the beaming sun shining down on us.It was wonderful and I was not scared even a little I was excited.We got our harness and away we went.we split our group in half and the group I was with was Tess Malia Chloe Caitlyn and I  first we did a practice abseil on a little hill to get hang of it and then did the real thing.I went over that cliff and it was so fun I got to the bottom and I was very proud.

Then we did the rock climbing it was very fun. The first bit was challenging but I got through it and made it all the way to the top and then came back down it was so fun and that was the end of that, and I would love to do it again and again and again.
