Chicks up in the tree

Nea (8 years) and Evelina (18 years) enjoyed some tree climbing. I preferred the solid ground.

Quite a feat for the 8 years old !!! I would also have preferred to stay on the ground  :)
What also interesting is that those structures are designed not to "hurt" the trees, just squeezing them a bit but no nails or screws. Nicely thought :)

Good practice too strengthen the muscles, improve balance an agility, and a tonus for the menta.

It is a great experience to go up into such things

One of my kids would love to go on one of this , the other wouldn't

It's nice that is not crowded

I agree and I was impressed with the enthusiastic and fearless attitude of the girls.

Thank you. I have not tried this stuff yet and the last time I climbed a tree was about 10 years ago when I had to cut the treetop first before cutting the rest. And before that.... well maybe when I was 10.  :P

Thank you. We were early birds, we arrived there just about when they opened and hence were the first ones in the track.

Well... or worsen it  :o

That was actually one of my first thoughts also when i saw the structures. First I thought "what a waste" but when I realized the trees are pretty much safe I thought "nicely done."
