One way to spend an afternoon


Atali is situated on a hill side. This implies that you, no matter what else you decide to do in a day, pass an impressible number of steps (which I’ll gladly admit has had a noticeable effect on my behind…). Right at the top is the high ropes field, so the best bit of fitness advice you’ll get around here, is to start your day by going to the high ropes field and then make sure to forget something when you head down.

A high ropes field is, by the way, an installation of wires on poles – just about 30 feet above ground. All wires between the poles being different obstacles. Some challenges are easy, others very far from being easy – rather difficult you could say. 

Nevertheless, I completed the entire course on my very first go – and that even without getting further help from the “cow’s tail” that kept me attached to the wires in case I would slip, than the security its mere presence imposed. And in spite of using some rather unusual techniques (efficient rather than elegant) at some of the challenges, I did complete!


 First obstacle – ”walk on wire – hold rope” – while I was still worried that I would fall.

 Further on a much more secure Pernille on ”walk on wire, hold rope until it’s too close to wire and then catch hanging ropes instead”


After the Trapezes right before the Swings – the 2 most difficult obstacles.
 
Ending with the zip-line
