    A little drizzle kept things cool as we flailed around, some with more flair than others. A good afternoons entertainment and I learnt something too. Recommended.

    It was really an amazing day with Peter Hassal. Not even the constant drizzle could slow us down. The group were all up for learning how to use swords, sticks and starfs. Peter added all these lovely stories from things that happended during filming and he had a rapted audience. Would highly recommend this to anyone in the future and hope the Adeventure Wellington not only run more lessons but that there is more follow up lesssons to improve our sword fighting skills. Well done AW, Peter and the group I was with. Great way to spend a Saturday.

    Un-freakin'-believeable! Peter is a great teacher, the techniques were simple to learn and fun to put in practice. The light drizzle added to the experience rather than subtracted from it. We got to stage a couple of fights for the other attendees, and fighting with proper (though blunt!) steel swords was quite an experience. I seriously recommend this one!

    Came back for seconds! Really enjoyed it, despite the crumby weather.

    Great introduction to Parkour. I'm not as nimble as the pros. Really enjoyed the strength training. Slight sore shoulders but otherwise feeling good. A bit more practise will make perfect!

    Fantastic - great philosophy and great workout. Was hopeless with the roll on the concrete and crawling backwards, but practise will make perfect. Big thanks to Max for organising and all the instructors - awesome, I'm hooked!

    Thanks guys, it was a fabulous weekend! Best experience for me was white water kayaking through a very small channel into that hidden lagoon. Magical! Worst experience? The pigeon that pooped in the porridge, haha. Had a great weekend!

    Would give more stars if I could. Always wanted to have a look at the area, and this way of doing it was 'just right' in most areas.

    Good to chat to a few new people but I found it hard to mingle because everyone was clumped in the middle of the room with only elbow-to-elbow space! Overall a good vibe, though, it was my first time at any Adventure Wellington event and now I'm keen to get started on the activities.

    given a framed momento of the group, winning top AW photo 2011, catching up with lots of great people, and not paying for beer all night, all-in-all not a bad evening :)

    It was a good night - Great idea with the slides shown throughout the night - will just reiterate, have to learn to not be the last one to leave, anybody, you have permission to throw me out before the end of the night for the March drinks :-)

    Fantastic. Thanks Linc! Really easy concepts to grasp. Wellington looked a little different tonight. But I still challenge anyone to find the mauve/wasabi green combo!!

    It was awesome. I am seeing the world in a whole new way - the same, but different.
