Green Group

You’re Group:

Green Group (: .. Miss Young, Lexi, Em, Saz, Sarah, Kate, Becky, Alex, and Jo

 Best bits of your course

Sea level traversing and gorge walking .. and mining, because they all involved a challenge, fun, and scary experiences

 Most challenging bits…

‘commiting your weight to the rope’ (as Gethin says) and facing your fears

 What did you learn about yourself?

Pay attention .. you’ll live longer! You can achieve anything you want when you try, unless your harness is stuck!!

 What did you learn about others (your team mates)

Some can be negative at times, whereas at other times everyone joins together to make a team effort.

 What did you learn about the environment?

The sea is more important to human life than the rainforests. The more colourful the pysgod wibbly wobbly (jellyfish LOL) the more dangerous it is.
