As part of Maddy and Will’s Christmas presents this year they did a half day rock climbing program which included climbing some sheer limestone cliff faces to 30 meters.  William was like an agile cat.  Climbing with relative ease to the top and boasting his success where grown men had failed only moments before.  Maddy was strong and used technique to see her to the top.  Both did exceptionally well.  Guy thought it was too good to miss out on so when we returned to Railey a week later Guy did a climb as well.  William did a second climb.  Guy started out with some easy climbs that weren’t too challenging and then his instructor took him to the ‘real’ climbs where there were overhangs and generally more difficult cliffs.  Both Guy and William did a great job.  Guy conquered a 5B (for those who know climbing).  Simonne was keen to have a try too but on the previous day had come down with a throat infection that saw her sit it out on the beach instead.  Rock climbing in Thailand – definitely a highlight.
