:: What kept us busy ::
And what to look forward to
 Progress has been made in hiring a company to renovate the building of our base. Everything needs to be up and running in time for the grand opening with the start of Golden Week. Most likely, a pre-opening event for the locals is scheduled for April 24. Also, our son Felix will be turning two around this date, so lots to celebrate. Keep your agenda open if you like to join.
Pix and a video of the AbseilingMe™ base and its surroundings, including the famous Fox Canyon across the street and the abseiling training site along the river nearby are also uploaded. In walking distance, a cozy restaurant, hot spring facility, and paragliding school is at your service.

Regular, sideways, face-down, and bridge abseiling is on the list, starting at heights of 5 meters and extending to 15 if you dare.
