Acropark

There’s a new adventure playground in Breña Alta called Acropark, and we finally got there today.   In spite of the mist, I loved it.  They give you a proper safety harness and show you how to use it.  You’ve got two clips, so you’ve always got at least one clipped onto the lifeline.  That meant that I felt safe using both hands for the camera.
We went on the rope walks for about an hour.  I want to get fitter and do the big circuit, 7m above the ground.
It cost a bit more than I expected, but really, they have trained staff and a large investment, so I didn’t feel robbed.  And the whole thing is designed not to damage the trees.  No motors or anything.  Just fresh air and good, clean fun.
Great!
