High All Aboard!!!

An excellent exercise for the whole group. Up to 4 people climb to the top of one post and stand on the same platform. The rest of the group control their ropes. Now the hard part. Lean backwards holding onto each other. Can you keep it together? This needs good communication to succeed. Once you’ve had a go change around.

This is a group of students tackeling the challenge last week!!! Well done everyone! :-D
