The Flying Fox

By Zachary

We reached the flying fox, everybody in my group lined up except me, Jordan and maybe Steve. The first person lined up and was harnessed up. A few seconds later the first person went over the edge. At first I did not want to go over because it looked too scary it looked like people were going to jump over a vertical drop and die. Also people were lining up for second goes but I was still too scared to go on. People were persuading me to go on the flying fox. Finally after what seemed to be ages my fears began to calm down at that time people in my group wanted third goes. About twenty minutes later I gave in. Five minutes later I was harnessed up and ready to go. At that stage people persuaded me to run as fast as I could but I did not want to. I slow jogged to the drop and seconds later I was over stable land. I looked below, about two hundred and fifty feet below me and the flying fox was the grassy bottom of the valley floor. About two minutes later it was all over. I thought it was awesome.
