Adventure Park

During our final day in Saas Grund, we stayed local, but not inactive. In fact, it was just the opposite. We headed for Saas Fee nearby and had a morning round of mini-golf, which was won by Beck, whose score included two holes in one. I also had a hole in one and Max even managed to have two holes in two! He did very well.

In the afternoon we sussed out the local adventure park and Beck, I and Max signed up for the action. Phil became the official photographer, and you will be seeing his pictures. Basically, we had a 20 minute brief in English about how to attach our safety harnesses to the various ropes and wires adorning the tall trees we were about to climb and swing between.



Then it was into action, with me in the lead, Max in the middle and Beck behind. We therefore had control of his actions and ability to insure that he was safely attached to the circuit - just as well as Max is action oriented and not always aware of his safety. The following pictures show some of the action.



We got around safely and with increasing speed and Max quickly got the hang of things, as did I. In fact, Max and Beck went around a second time while I took an early bus back to Saas Grund to meet up with Dot.
