Me Crawling Through Crooked Tunnel

Eoin Lead Climbing Tree

Video from the Mafikeng Assault Course 2007, that we created…

Here’s a list of the obstacles:

- THE COUNTRYSIDE - 200m looped run to start to get them going.

- VERTICAL SLALOM - Under/Over Beams in the trees. Done with rope they can’t touch.

- WHISTLERS CHILL - Whistle over the river (shallows) they each have to be held up to and blow.

- DRAGONS BELLY - Plastic Sheet crawl held down in the mud

- DRAGONS TONGUE - Plastic Sheet slide into Mud.

- DRAGONS GUT - Hanging PVC sheet (do we have any pvc groundsheets/ trucksides still?) We’ll hang this like a tube going diagonally from low to high they have to get out the top of..

- THE RACK - Horizontal Jacobs Ladder (horizontal spars/poles getting further apart diagonally going upwards).

- TOADSTOOLS - Balance logs (logs/milk-crates) to balance on with planks to bridge gaps.

- CROOKED TUNNEL - Same tunnel as last year, but can we have it 3 doors long in a U shape rather than L?

- INVERTED LOG - The pit under the log you have to go through on your back head first.

- TEAM CRACKER - The first submersion, the whole team must go under this together (rather than one at a time) so it needs to be wide, but short time under. e.g. spar/branch or the fallen tree downriver of us?.

- THE TYRE - Similar to the ladder in the water- but I’d like to see it as a submerged tyre for a change.

- MOSES CROSSING - If we have a have access to a very thick rope ( e.g. an old runway line) they must cross the river on it.

- THE HILL - On far side of river almost under runway. Tie a long rope to a tree on a very very muddy patch. Make them climb it up it together.

- FALLEN STAR - Can we make a Muddy pool deep enough to put something like a laminated star in (”I’m a scout, Get me out of here” style) that they have to retrieve.

- ILLEGAL CARGO - Cargo Net tied to Weirs Bridge they have to climb up onto bridge from water. If better place nearer our site (e.g. that fallen tree) we’ll use that.
