It's amazing - I highly recommend it. I did the three week course when I was almost 22 - I think on my course we had people aged from 18-26. It is very hard work - but you will enjoy it. Make sure you have got as fit as possible before you go - I was a bit slack about that, and it did make a difference. Don't take anything you're particularly fond of - everything gets thoroughly muddy and wet - you'll get used to the smell of the drying room :-) And, take lots of photos, it's great to look back. One of the things you can do on solo is write a letter to yourself, it sounds a little odd - but you learn so much about yourself (good and bad) and looking back on that letter is fascinating years later. The only thing I really regret is not joining Outward Bounders afterwards; I lost touch with everyone on my watch. I was in Scott watch - and I would love to know what they are doing now. There were 14 people in my watch, 6 men and 8 women, ranging from someone who was working for a lawyer and quit to do Outward Bound when she couldn't get the time off, to someone who was finishing a prison sentence and had a 12 yr old daughter - she was one of the best value people on the course, I think she should've been a stand-up comic. You'll meet people from all walks of life, it'll push you mentally and physically and you'll never be the same. If you have the chance, DO IT :-) |

Bro do it.you will love it!!!i done it when i was 17yrs.it was part of a school thing,this was couple years ago.Trust me if your adventrous or want to try something diffrent then outward bounds is the place.Its pretty tough tho...........physically and most definitly mentally...
Everymorning you do a 2.7km run(i think) then jump in the water,(this is just to wake you up and start your day.
Best part of it tho is meeting great friends from all over nz and even the world.
They (the locals of outward bounds) are awesome
My advice for you is to go there prepared for the challanges and to expect the unexpected,Go their to learn,and enjoy it,
The one thing i didnt like was having to sleep in the bush with possums,(im a city guy so that'll explain it),but it was worth the experience.
So do it bro and hopeyou do tackle it.......
Oh and just to let you know i was part of the SHACKLETON WATCH.
You will find out when you get their...... |
