Midnight Monkey Madness!
So you've all (or maybe most) done the Adrenalin Forest, swinging on the ropes, battling your fear of heights, feeling the trees move with the breeze as you attempt to balance and cross a ridiculous length of rope!
Well all of that will seem like a walk in the park once you've tried the Adrenalin Forest at night (maybe not quite midnight though)!
Usually these guys allow the last group of adventurous people to start at 2:30pm! Ha!
We laugh in the face of these weakling's as 45 of us dare to combat the forest at night with nothing but the moon and a head torch to guide us.
Come on this amazing experience and be amongst the few people who have taken this challenge at night. A test against gravity, balance and agility by the light of the moon.
What is required? Monkey like climbing ability, a good head torch and maybe some bike gloves or similar.
Difficultly level: 3/5
Cost: $45 (EFTPOS available).
Thanks Claire for hosting this meetup!

Hey Geoff - time for a rematch - or we could play on the same team again. Roy, are you in? We made good adrenalin buddies last time.

Does anyone know how I could get out there without a car? From memory, it's a bit of distance from public transport?

I've haven't been to Adrenaline Forest during daylight hours - would it be foolish for my first time to be at night? :-)
Posted December 29, 2011 at 8:27 PM -
Claire Samuel
@ Dan. Nah! I've not been in the day either ... it'll be quality entertainment. However, Linc has organised a day one for next week if you want to come to both but try during the day first.

Dan
Thanks Claire - I saw that one but it sounded a bit too energetic what with all the running around and race for the flag stuff. Are you doing both or just the night one?
Posted December 29, 2011 at 8:42 PM -
Claire Samuel
I'm working on the day of the first one in Jan. But I would've gone to both if I was able to. It's meant to be great fun!

Hi - this looks awesome! Before I RSVP, is there anyone able to offer a lift/carshare from central Wellington? Would love to attend, but don't have a car....
Posted February 9 at 8:59 AM -
Jess
Ditto, still needing a ride. Not comfortable walking through Porirua at night on my own. :(
Posted February 9 at 9:11 AM -
Matt H
Belinda and Jess, I can give you both a ride--have room for another if someone else needs a ride as well....
Posted February 9 at 9:56 AM -
Belinda
Hi Matt - that's fantastic - thank you very much! Let me know closer to the time where and when is best to meet you. Thanks again!

Hey Geoff. We could be on the same team this time. That way we'd both be winners. What do you say?
Posted February 12 at 9:24 PM -
Geoff Palmer
@Gaelene: So what's it worth? [Flashes Pedal Boat Race winner's medal] :-)
Posted February 12 at 9:30 PM -

Gaelene Adams Wood
Hi Jess. Depends if we're playing capture the flag or not. Last time I did it we played in teams, but it doesn't look like it this time. But Geoff knows, anytime we're in the same team we're winners, eh Geoff?
Posted February 12 at 9:47 PM -
Gaelene Adams Wood
Hey Geoff, you know being in my company is worth far more than any medal. :-) Look forward to seeing you again, buddy.
Posted February 12 at 9:48 PM -
Gaelene Adams Wood
BTW, I have no idea how I got the reputation of being 'fiercely competitive'. :-) I'm not really. I just like to go hard and have fun.
Posted February 12 at 9:49 PM -
Geoff Palmer
@Gaelene: Hmm, not sure about that. The medal hasn't given me a hard time ... yet ... ;-)
Posted February 12 at 9:51 PM -
Belinda
Hi Matt H - thanks so much for the offer of a lift, but I'm not going to be able to make it on Friday. Gutted :-( Have fun!

stevewow what a rush, its been a while since I have been freaked out, that level 6 was insane, I chickened out on the one with the spider web, crazy awsome, thanks for the cheers lol,
-
Heather AAW Kayak LeaderLevel 6 rope swing into the net definitely my vote for No. 1 thrill here. Allot of fun.

Les ReidReally enjoyed the difference in doing this at night. Shooting down the long flying foxes when the wires disappeared in to darkness was great! Thanks for setting this one up.
-
JessHad a fantastic time! Didn't find it harder at night, except in trying to see if the person ahead of me was off the next stage of the course. Definitely need to do this at least one more time, and work backwards from 6 rather than work up to 6!
-
DanFirewalkerLevel 5 was a real challenge after a hard couple of weeks, but I am stoked that I made it (in yer face, Bridge of Fury!!) Promised myself a cold beer to get through the challenging bits and really enjoyed it afterwards knowing that I'd earned it! Gotta psyche myself up to do level 6 now! Much thanks to Claire for organising this, (the manager?) said that it was only the second time they'd done a night session in Wellington, so big ups for getting us the VIP treatment :)
