Flying Through the Tree Tops

Wednesday morning I went with three other SIM colleagues on an outdoor adventure called “Flight of the Gibbons”.

Gibbons are apes who inhabit the forests around Chiang Mai.

This was a high altitude zip line like no other I have been on.  Hopefully you will get a feel for it in these photos.

Omar, SIM Australia director; Corey and Katie SIM workers to west Africa.

True trust is with no hands and you are buckled in from the back.  That means I went face first over the edge of the platform.

 

The tree above was immense.  Look where the platform is, relative to the ground.  That gives you some sense of the dimension.
