The kind of things that we do – Part 1

When we first got to know each other, we spent most of our weekends inline skating at East Coast Park. We both enjoyed this pastime till Alvan’s blades died on him. We stopped exercising for a while and became couch potatoes at home :)

One fine day, we decided that we should try to do at least one new form of activity every now and then so that our weekends would be more meaningful and healthy. So, I will share some of the interesting ones that we did together.

We came to know of the Forest Adventure at Bedok Reservoir Park. It is similar to an obstacle course except that it is all done from one tree to another tree! One has to cross bridges, climb ladders, swing from tree to tree and zip across the Bedok Reservoir. The grand course usually takes about two hours to complete. And by the end of the whole course, our hands and legs felt like jelly.

That is me climbing up, slowly and cautiously.

This is quite a challenging course as there is nowhere you can place your hands for support and balance. This explains Alvan's awkward pose.

This is what I meant by the support where you can place your hands. Comparatively this is much easier to balance.

The wooden planks may look big and easy to walk on but it is still challenging to move on from one shaky plank to another!

All of us looked quite funny with the helmet. :P

By the time we completed the course, the sun was setting. What a beautiful moment!

It was a great experience for all of us. We got to enjoy the fun, excitement and the great outdoors with each other and with our group of friends. Thanks for the great company.
