anyone fancy climbing this?

[White Noise]

Back in the day, before I knew about or rather before my old mate informed me about H+S I climbed my first monkey puzzle in denim shorts and no shirt!

 

Oh to be a 17 year old, full of youth and bravado again!

 

That as you say, is character building.:

 

When i look back on those days it makes me cringe, i was ignorant and young/nieve. i do miss those days though, when treework was an adrenalin junkies pursuit and not a paper chain nightmare!

 

But we only have ourselves to blame, the way we all used to carry on its a wonder any of us are still around to speak of it

 

Getting the groundie to swing on the tail of your rope to get you to another tree . I still do that well sometimes Denim shorts oh and denim aftershave
