When my Uncle Alan turned up at my

When my Uncle Alan turned up at my thirteenth birthday party without a present, I couldn’t hide the disappointment on my face. He was my favourite uncle, and he always bought me fantastic presents.

“Don’t look so sad, Anna,” he said kindly. “I haven’t forgotten to get you a present. I just couldn’t bring it with me. Tomorrow, I’m taking you abseiling.”

“I didn’t know you had a boat,” I said.

“No, not sailing! Abseiling!”

“What’s that?” I asked. “I’ve never heard of it.”

“You’ll see,” he said mysteriously.

Early the next day, Uncle Alan drove me to Lamerton Adventure Park. I’d never been there before, but had often told my mum and dad how exciting it sounded. As we drove through the gates, it seemed that, once again, Uncle Alan had found me a birthday present I’d never forget.

When we arrived, we went to find my instructor, a friendly young woman called Isabelle. She put me completely at ease, and I knew that, whatever I was going to be doing, I’d be quite safe with her.

“So, Anna, have you ever been abseiling before?” she asked. I admitted I didn’t even know what abseiling was. “Well, it’s always fun to experience something new, isn’t it?” she said.

We walked through the park, and ended up at a rocky hill. The biggest rock face was extremely high and steep, but there were smaller, easier faces too. When I saw the equipment waiting for me – a rope, a harness and a helmet – I guessed what I was going to be doing.

“Oh, I’m going rock climbing!” I said excitedly.

“Not exactly,” said Uncle Alan.

Isabelle explained. “With rock climbing, you start at the bottom and go up, but with abseiling, you start at the top and go down.”

Now I understood.

We carried the equipment up a path to the top of the smallest rock face. I carefully looked over the edge. The ground was about five metres below. “This is going to be fun,” I thought.

Isabelle tied the rope carefully to a metal ring, and then threaded it through my harness, which by now I was wearing round my waist. She threw the other end of the rope over the edge of the rock face, and it fell to the ground.

“This is where I say goodbye,” said Uncle Alan. “I’m going back down to the bottom. I’ll be holding the other end of the rope, so you’ll be quite safe. See you when you come down!” Isabelle was the perfect instructor. She talked me through what to do step by step. I stood on the edge of the rock face with my back to the drop. My left hand was holding the rope in front of me, my right hand holding the rope behind me. “Now,” she said, “gently lean back.”

This was the most difficult part. It’s a terribly scary experience leaning back over a cliff, especially the first time you attempt it, and for the first few minutes I wondered whether I could actually do it. Finally, I decided to risk it. I didn’t want Uncle Alan thinking I was a coward. Keeping my feet still, I leant back a little. Then a little more.

“Fantastic!” shouted Uncle Alan from below me.

“That’s wonderful,” said Isabelle. “Now, slowly start to walk down the rock.”

It was more like bouncing than actual walking, but I started to go down. It didn’t take long to reach the bottom, but I felt a huge sense of achievement when I put my feet on the ground next to Uncle Alan.

“I’m so proud of you!” he said. “Do you want to try a higher rock face now?” “You bet!” I said. “The higher, the better!”
