camping in bangalow?? part 3

Swinging plank
How : members, one each at the end of swinging plank. Plank width can only accomodate my shoe. We have to balance ownself and walk towards the middle (holding & grabbing not allowed) and cross path before proceeding to the opposite end of the plank where you started.
Comment : looks easy but when there are 2 people on the plank, it's tough to balance ourselves & to cross path in middle especially grabbing is not allowed. lucky all in our team managed to get through on 1st attempt.


Trust Walk
How : There are 2 pieces of diagonal planks that are placed about 6 feet apart. If you fall, you will be covered with mud. 2 team members are supposed to cross the diagonal planks together. Have to figure out how to cross.
Comment : Initial, no one came out with the right strategy except 1 team. They sold their ideas to other teams for an amount of rm30k out of rm50k ( ya, we transact in term of RM)
the strategy is to have 2 members about the same height, lean against each other through their palms by putting entire weight against the other member palm. Requires a lot of trust & coordination.


Low bar
How : There are metal bars about waist length high, we are supposed to have every team member on the other side of the bars. Touching the bar in the process of getting everyone over will be a fault.
Comment : Our team was picked as the 1st team and was faulted for twice. Once because one of our name tag touched the bar. Second was because our 2nd last member pants touched the bar. Last attempt, I was just being tossed over because they say I'm too light. Goh basically lifted me, tossed me over the other side while the rest catch me. I knew they will catch me.
Only 2 teams managed through & we are one of them. It actually strenghten our team spirit & motivates us.
