Once again, it was that time of year when the IHTA sets off on new adventures. And what an adventure it was! It began high up in the treetops, where just a few small, wobbly wooden platforms separated the IHTA colleagues from the distant forest floor. Courageously many parcours were mastered, some of which even included manoeuvring a scooter over a wooden bridge or swinging heroically into a spider-like web. The final section was a platform at lofty heights, with no other way but forward into the depths below. Fortunately, a leap of faith proved that a braking device was in place, ensuring a smooth descent for everyone.

After this, a forest hike seemed like just the thing to calm the nerves and enjoy nature from a more familiar viewpoint. In beautiful sunshine, the walk was made towards the institute, enjoying the soundscape and adding some cheerful chattering to it.

Certainly hungry after all this activity, a great and well-deserved barbecue was enjoyed at the Institute, and let the day come to a peaceful end.

In this spirit, a big thank you to all the IHTA members who were involved in organising this excursion and who made this wonderful day possible.
