FRAYING ROPE SENDS ADRENALINE PUMPING!
Room 18’s Camp 2007

“Go! Go!” With classmates cheering me on, I stumbled across the rocky bank, daring myself to look down. I did and nearly fell! I was standing on a narrow, steep, rock bank. The only thing keeping me on was a fraying rope, tied to a tree above.
Again I looked down into the black pool of darkness, luring me in. I felt dizzy. The adrenaline rushed through me as I took a step forward. I bent my legs, preparing to jump. Another step……..
I clung onto the rope. My hands were clammy. I quickly wiped them on my togs. Finally I gathered the courage together and… SPLASH! I hit the water. Wow! I thought as I rose to the surface. That was amazing! Water was dripping in river lets, racing down my face. I spluttered a little, choking on the putrid smelling water. I’m soo ready for my next turn!!
