One of my boys turned 12 on Tuesday and, for his birthday party, he asked me take him and a few friends to the Adventure Rope Course in Shrewsbury.

They competed to see who could get the highest on the Crate Stake, before plucking up the courage to pull the quick release on the Giant Swing. The Tunnels are always a favorite, and having exited at the top of the tower, what better way to come down than on a Parachute Simulator.

It was a great afternoon (the sun even came out!), nicely rounded off with roast pork baps that went down a treat.

Happy Birthday Alfie!
