I got into outdoor stuff by being a driver.
My brother was doing the Outdoor Ed course at the Bendigo CAE in the mid 80'swhere he had to do heaps of trips on weekends. He didnt have a car.. I did. Got to learn rockclimbing, cross country skiing, kayaking, caving etc. Best course he did! Been climbing since. First harness was a little something I stitched together from seatbelt webbing and a buckle cut from 8mm alum plate. |
