Ninja Warrior UK with Holly

At the start of the week I took off a few extra days to spend some time with the kiddies over Easter (even though Brandon has been off in Valencia all week on a school trip). Anyway for months I have been promising to take Holly to Ninja Warrior UK in Chelmsford and finally got around to booking it on Tuesday.

The venue is pretty impressive and has two full size Ninja Warrior courses, one which is full on adult mode and then one which seems to be suited to people around Holly's age/size up to younger teenagers. Then there is a really impressive inflatable area which is about 4 times the size of the Ninja Warrior courses.

Holly was only booked for an hour but ended up spending about an hour and 20 mins in there. When her time was up she was completely exhausted, sweaty and very red faced. There is a small Ninja wall at the end of one of the courses and then a full size one on the adult course. Holly managed the smaller one several times but failed dismally on the full size adult one. However she thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be going again only next time hopefully with some of her friends to keep her company.

Finally I got Holly booked in to Ninja Warrior UK.

The hop steps where just a little too far apart for her to make all 4.

Shuffling along the beam.

Ready to jump off of the second beam.

Traversing the cargo net.

Then on to the swinging discs.

I think this is cheating as you are supposed to walk across these.

Hanging on to the swinging punch bags.

And up the junior Ninja wall.

It is still pretty high for Holly and she had to give it some welly to get up these.

Climbing the mountain in the center of the venue to come down the drop slide.

At the top and ready to slide down.

You can't really get many good picture in the inflatable area without physically going in there.

Holly must have done the Ninja wall about 10 times.

Down the slide.

This was probably the only obstacle on the adult course that Holly could do. Most of them she couldn't even reach.

With skill and patience she made it all the way across.

Climbing the mountain again.

At the entrance to the inflatable area.

Someone is about to do the splits!!!

One last run around before her time was up.

After Ninja Warrior I took Holly in to Chelmsford Town for some lunch where we found Bumble Bee and Optimus Prime on display.
