When we were told that we would be going to the Browne centre high ropes course a lot of us (the majority of us) were afraid of heights and some refused point blank that they would not be doing it. But we all went and on arrival, we realised that our rpeconceptions that we would just be flung up a tree, were wrong.
We started off with loads of games (with our feet firmly on the ground) which kick started the team building. I would say it was the first activity that brought the team together and really bonded us because we all supported each other throughout each activity and came together to help each other overcome their fears.
The people who were scared of heights were able to overcome these and achieve more than they thought possible because the group encouraged each and every single person. People who were too scared to even climb a ladder ended up going on a high sling-shot type activity, over-coming their fears.
So, most of us went in dreading it and came out wanting to stay longer and everyone agreed it was an amazing day. I thought it was a significant point for the group that brought us all together and was a great way for us to start our two weeks together.
