Up mountains and down bridges: Part 2

Thursday:

'Lets go steal a fifth of a canoe!' Matthew

My Thursday morning started fairly normally, I went to the shop, hired my brother a bike and walked to dog. 

However, at 2 o'clock I jumped off a bridge. Yes, that's right I went bungee jumping. 

For those who know me, they know that this is a crazy thing that I would not normally do. However my grandpa offered to pay for me to do it, and the next thing I know I am doing it. Yes I know, I'm still trying to find the logic there.... But it was so much fun! 

I went to the highland fling bungee jumping centre in Killiecrankie, a few miles away from where we were staying, where I got all harnessed up, weighed and talked through all the safety instructions. We were then driven to the bridge, where they took us up to the bridge, attached all the safety equipment to us, then we jumped! 

My grandpa and brothers stood next to the bridge to watch, my mum stayed in the car as she was too scared for my safety! 

The other guy went first, because he had done bungee jumping before and was very confident, whilst it was suddenly dawning on me what I had signed up for. 

When it came to the time of me to jump, they filmed me, asked me some questions, took some photos, then I eventually jumped. Oh My Gosh! It was terrifying. I didn't expect to fall so quickly, I'm not quite sure what I was expecting actually. Once I had got down and started swinging, all I could hear with my brother shouting 'Why aren't you screaming?!'  I was in so much shock that I could scream. 

When we got back the the centre I saw all the photos the centre had takes and the unedited version of the video. I look so funny/ terrified!

I will defiantly do it again! Now I know what it is like, I think I will enjoy it next time 😊

I've attached a link to the photos at the bottom. 

In the evening, me and the two older brothers went to the river to find a tree swing that we had seen a few days before. We started holding onto it, climbing the tree slightly then swinging off. By this point in the day I had no fear, but I'm sure my mum would of if she saw what we were doing. As I was on the swing, and Matthew was filming me, James found a fifth of a canoe and came up with a cunning plan with James to be able to steal this canoe bit. 

Friday:

We went home! :(

We spend the whole of Friday driving home. I find it so sad to drive home because I love it in Scotland.
