Today we arrived at Grouse Mountain for 9:30, an hour before our time for the zip lines. We picked up tickets and caught the sky ride gondola to the top. We hadn't got to be at the centre until 10:20 so we looked around the area and the wires.
Molly,Lynn,Matt and I signed the forms then got given our harnesses,helmets and trolleys. Tracy took photos before our briefing. We then went to line 1. We had to show a flying and braking position before setting off. This was a short test run which we all enjoyed.
Line 2 we had to fly in starfish position to slow us down as this was the steep and fast one. Number three was across the lake before ascending the chairlift for the long 4 & 5. Molly did fantastic and didn't have one moment of hesitation at all.
After we had returned our gear we went for drinks and snacks in the cafe before watching a film on Canada.it was great to recognize so many of the places we had visited.
We went to see the bears bathing in their pool, bought beavertails to eat ( flat doughnuts!) then Matt took Molly to watch the lumberjack show while Lynn,Tracy and I sat in the shade.
On the way down the skyride was faster and swayed over the towers.Lyndon met us in the car to take us home. After a rest Tracy and I went shopping at London Drug and the village then returned to have a chinese takeaway with everyone plus Anne who had joined us.
We sat outside after dinner and started a scrabble game against Lyndon and Anne playing together! Anne has a very competitive streak and took a long time before going to bed just to put down another word. Very funny.
