The Wall of Terror

We all sat down and watched Tom and Andrew demonstrate how to put on a special belt that you use for walking down cliff faces and also going into caves . I felt sick at the thought of it .
I shuffled my foot closer and closer to the edge of the wall , I leaned back and started walking backwards. I felt butterflies come as I heard everyone cheer me on .
I was half way down the steep cliff ,the butterflies started to calm down.
I took a puny step back and I felt the ground . Finally I was back on solid ground .
That was awesome I thought ,its a little scary at first but its great once you know what your doing .I pulled the dirty old strap out of the buckle .I could see the dust from the belt float through the air and settle on the ground.
The belt fell to the floor and I picked it up and put it in a pile .
I wish I could do that again I thought !

Hey Ashleigh did you think that was scary?I didn't think it was scary,I thought it was fantastic! Andrew was a great teacher wasn't he. The teachers and parents were funny weren't they.
