Everyone is given a chance to lead at OPC, at the start I was happy to just sit back and let the people in our group go in front.

Alexander Stewart
We didn’t really bash all the bush, we tried to leave it like we found it. In the end we were only 11 paces off the exact location that we set our compass to.

Kimberley Isaacs
We got through because by pushing ourselves and thinking that later on we'll be able to say "I've done it!"

Bex Cederwall
During my time at the outdoor pursuit centre I learnt a lot about myself, did things I had never even thought of doing before

Sarah Congdon
With the encouragement and support of the group and the reward of knowing you finished, I pushed myself to the challenge and succeeded.

I learnt a lot about the people I went with such as: someone might not be comfortable doing what I can do; also every body is good at something.
