Hubby and I had great morning doing the Beginners Abseiling Adventure. I can't remember our guides name, but she was fantastic. I'm afraid of heights, and was so scared, but our guide kept me calm and talked me through the whole process and made me feel really safe. We had another family in our group, a dad with 2 young kids, and she was really good with the kids. I wasn't sure how I was going to go fitness wise, being 40, on the heavier side and unfit, but the climb to the top of the rock faces weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be. We had so much fun. A thrilling experience to remember. I would highly recommend this to anybody that is visiting Halls Gap or even just thinking about trying abseiling. Give it a go, it is a must, we came all the way from South Australia just to do this and it was defiantly worth the experience. Thanks again to our guide for a great day. Crystal & Dean.
