Abseiling is a like repelling, you tie a rope to something securely and do some magic work with the ropes and karabiners and you are able to lower you self down some pretty fantastic places. I'm thinking these skills will come in hand when I go caving later on.
The first pic is of me on the bridge, the guy told me to basically lower myself off the bridge, but keep my feet on it until I was basically upside down. The hard part was trusting myself and the ropes to not slip while I hopped over the railing 60 feet above the ground.
Mentally preparing myself to jump.
Ryan decided to take his camera with him when he jumped, and snapped shots of his expressions all the way down.
Some people needed a little motivation while others had decided, "If I stand on my hands falling wont be so scary right?" It really looked awesome when they fell backwards from a handstand.
There are great places to explore, we found a series of old train tunnels and broken down bridges. After climbing under one of them I found a Fantastic view overlooking the river and valley below.
Wind farms are everywhere. I have to mention: one girl was upset because she didn't bring a jacket since no one told her we were going to be by the wind farms. She was under the impression that the wind farms actually created the wind. (She's a college student)
