For the first time ever our Squadron went Zip Lining on Grouse Mountain on October 18th. The weather was cold but everyone from the squadron who had

Cadets get ready for the day

igned up to come was present, and warmly dressed. We took the cable car up the mountain where we met our friendly Zip Line tour guides. We were all given helmets and harnesses and after we had adjusted them all, we set off . The first of the three Zip Lines was probably the shortest but everyone got to make a fun and creative pose in front of the photographer on the ground. The second zip line was the longest and the most thrilling. There was thick fog so nobody really knew where the line ended and were then suddenly surprised by a long spring which would abruptly halt them. The Zip Line went over a river which would up everybody’s adrenalin. On each set of zip lines there were two lines parallel to each other, so by the third zip line everybody could grab a partner and race it out. The fog then started to clear, and everybody enjoyed racing on the third zip line. We had alittle delay coming down on the cable car but it was shortlived. We are Air Cadets and the Zip Line exercise on Grouse Mountain was just as described -”Flying like a bird”. Overall the event pleased everybody, and was a great success
