BMAC!!!!!

Greetings from all of us here in New Zealand! We just finished up with our tough but rewarding week at Blue Mountain Adventure. (BMAC) During our time there we all become stronger as a group and as individuals. Throughout our trip Lord Of The Rings has been an ongoing interest due to how incredible it is and the fact that it was filmed in New Zealand. As a result our first activity was a 10 mile trek up Mount Doom (an active volcano) which plays a big part in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. WE were all pushed as we took a rewarding day hike up the mountain with an incredible view. We also did some extreme caving which defiantly pushed some comfort levels. Comfort levels were pushed again as we participated in various high ropes courses. There was no slowing down at BMAC as our instructor Dan took us repelling at levels over 100 feet! That same day half of the group went mountain biking which many said was one of the most physically challenging things they have ever done. To finish up our amazing week Ā at BMAC we went white water rafting which was a first from most members in the group! We were all sad to leave Blue Mountain Adventure, but as every good thing passes another comes! Much love from all of us here in New Zealand!

Until next time,

Peter
