Canopy Glider

Finally, after two years of wanting and waiting ... we finally went on a Skytrex Adventure! I was really hoping to get to do this before I fly off so I'm really glad we managed to. There's a pic of four of us girls up there. Nick and Han Liang were there too, so there were six of us. The weather was nice, not too hot and it didn't rain, Alhamdulillah. So what happened was, we went to Taman Pertanian Malaysia and bought our tickets to go into the park. 

We were late because I didn't eat lunch early enough so I delayed everybody ;__; Bleh. So we waited for the bus to come back for us. Once we got there, the first thing we saw was the kids' challenge. Our route was further inside. We got our harness and bottle holders then went through a short briefing on how to hook our carabiners and pulley onto the ropes once we get into the trees. 

Our very first obstacle was a ladder that stretches up into the sky by about 14 metres. It was really tiring. ;_; Halfway up I was wishing that it was a climbing wall because somehow, those seem easier to scale than the slippery pipes on this ladder. Here's a pic of Hannah scaling the super tall ladder. I got some pics of our gang going through the trees. Not many though. Didn't get any of myself sadly, since that I was the only one with a pouch and a camera. x)

Here's one of the bridges up in the trees:

I didn't mind these, they were pretty cool. There was another obstacle that I went on, where you have to swing from a rope to reach planks of wood further away. Don't have a pic of that, sadly. Halfway through that, I swung too low and my shin struck the panel of wood. It really hurt! It's all swollen now. :/

Up there is another one of the obstacles. It wasn't bad, just a little wobbly. But the best part was definitely this:

 The flying fox. :D I had a lot of fun with these. It's awesome being able to glide through the trees like that. I was a little nervous at the first flying fox ledge, just because I wasn't sure how to let go. But it was definitely the highlight of our adventure today. 

And once everything was over, we walked out of the park to find some ice-cream men and their carts at the entrance. Of course, I couldn't resist myself. This was the first time I've ever gotten an ice-cream roti that came with chocolate sauce and peanuts! I was impressed. It was a good way to end the day. I would definitely go back to try the Extreme Challenge next time, hopefully. :)
