Without the focus of the bike due to Andy's accident Phil has decided to take up some new personal challenges as he tries to overcome his fear of heights and maybe eventually get on a Single Pitch Award Training Course to develop his individual skills of climbing.So to Morfa Bay Adventure and a session with Senior Instructor Rhys Hughes. A safety brief preceded the 8m climb that the visiting Primary Schools have used extensively over the last few years. Phil mastered the climbs with ease and then decided to move on to the dreaded zip line;
the flying fox as the Year 6's call it.
Apologies but the battery ran out. He took so long to get over the edge. He did do it though.
With nothing holding him back onward and upward the fearless Phil climbed the vertical ladder to the abseil point and over he went bouncing confidently down to terra firma.
Time now Phil to move onto the real thing and get on some rock faces - big thanks to Rhys and all at Morfa Bay Adventure.
Tonight Phil and Andy start training for their Beach Life Guard exam in January 2010 with a lengthy swim at Pendine Beach.
