Forest Adventure – 23 Jan 2010
Location: Bedok Reservoir Park
A truly thrilling tree-top adventure! We climbed a series of obstacles built high up on trees and zipped around in mega zip lines around Bedok Reservoir! There were many obstacles each varying in difficulty and testing in their different ways. Swinging logs and walking on steel lines are examples of the constant challenges thrown at us.

It was really a hair-raising experience to traverse the course, but safety was never an issue. With two points of security at all times, and safety drills being constantly re-iterated by the instructors, we all knew that it would be a safe experience.
The mega zip-lines, resembling flying foxes, are perhaps the best of the course. Besides the amazing scenery and the cool breeze, its landing involved a parachute-like landing style which required us to run while landing. There was also a near- free fall feeling when attempting one of the ‘tarzan swing’ obstacles! The rest of the course, although requiring quite a bit of arm-muscle, should be manageable by everyone. All in all a wonderful experience trumped only by the new friendships made and company enjoyed. Its all part of the Xseed experience. When was the last time you did something for the first time?
