day 2 of OBS

woke up at 5.55am as mentioned earlier, and had a run-it-yourself tour of the OBS camp. and we found out instructor haizul's favourite phrase is "many many more" why? you'll find out later.

standard procedures for breakfast followed, and then was the height element.

THE HEIGHT ELEMENT!

it looked fairly simple from down on the ground, but once you got up there, it was as though your legs had become disobedient all of a sudden. there i was on the Warden's Walk, hanging on the the rather useless "support rope" that they had provided, and inching forwards on the 1 cm thick metal wire they had. finally made it, and the next part was the Swinging Log. i zoomed across it, to my surprise. it was quite fun overall.

next was the kayaking course. we learnt basic strokes, how to capsize and get back in (some people lost their specs) and that was it.

finally the briefing for the land ex. we learnt navigation skills, how to read a 6-years outdated map, basic safety precautions, wild boar evasion techniques and what to pack.

and finally, the second course for the mosquitoes and sand flies.

2 days down, 3 to go.
