Sharon and I cashed in our remaining Christmas voucher today (thanks Cameron & Jen). Hollybank Treetops Adventure was the destination. After walking around showing Sharon the last Sprung 2HR MTB course and checking out some of the new trail construction we headed in and signed away our life and got kitted up. After that you do a quick demo on the rig out the front to show you what it’s like and to make sure you do what they told you and then the walk down to the first ‘cloud station’ (platform in a tree).

The first few runs vary in length a bit but the last two are the most fun getting up to 80kmh on the longest 400M run they told me. There was a bit of variety being tethered out on one station and doing a confidence test on another. Everybody was fine except for one guy who was very nervous and was obviously NOT enjoying the experience but made it through Ok. A good afternoon out doing something different. It was very cool (as in cold) on the last run as you dipped down above Pipers River in the late afternoon shade.
