Borneo Challenge: High Ropes Course





We rolled out of Sabah Tea Plantation on mountain bikes, and reached our destination by midday.  We hung around, and relaxed, as the organizer gathered up our rented bikes.  We waited for what we thought would be lunch, except that we had another activity to do.

It was a high ropes course, which was well-constructed and well-protected.  In fact, the high ropes courses I've been on were much more challenging than this one.  For example, one part required mid-air traversing, walking sideways on a taut rope and holding on to another taut rope.  This course near Mount Kinabalu simply required a lot of climbing steps, which is normally a nice Sunday outing with your family, for example.

Except that our legs were weary from the mountain biking and moreover we were hungry.  I was not happy with the mistiming of this activity, but I knuckled down and focused on what we were doing.  My mates above seemed to be in a pleasant mood, which was a good thing.
