The last time I went abseiling was in 1992. That time didn’t go so well, mostly because we had a silly teacher barking orders at us rather than just letting us hoppity hop our way down the cliff! This time went much more smoothly and\u00a0was really quite easy \ud83d\ude42 This was in a small canyon in Jordan, near the Dead Sea.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Anarchy Productions<\/a>\u00a0for the pictures, which I stole from their\u00a0video footage<\/a>.<\/p>\n
