The old apparatus can't stay where it is and so we have started taking it all down. Today we focused on the Jacobs ladder, an extremely heavy log ladder used as a high ropes team-building activity. Being ??feet high this meant climbing the trees at either side to unfasten the cables that hold it in position.
It took a little while to formulate a plan as to the safest and quickest way of taking it down and as always we made it slightly more complicated than it perhaps had to be using a system of tensioned ropes that we could release when the the whole thing had been unattached.
It didn't go without a few small hitches and took a bit longer than expected but we were soon lugging the logs out of the forest to a waiting trailer.
