A quick trip to Adelaide: Mount Lofty House and Challenge Hill

This week Matt and I took a quick trip to Adelaide for a work conference. I was able to accompany Matt and it was wonderful to be able to spend some time together with just the two of us. It had been a while since we had visited Adelaide and we felt spoilt to stay at the lovely Mount Lofty House and to also have some awesome fun taking on Challenge Hill at Woodhouse. 

A few snaps I took of Mount Lofty House.  I loved the large rooms, high ceilings, gorgeous artwork and delicious, healthy food. It was a wonderful conference venue and would also be a great place to have a wedding reception.

Mount Lofty House is set high up in the Adelaide Hills and has a gorgeous view. Even though it was freezing cold we could not get enough of the scenery. I loved the rolling green hills and view of the clouds. Love my clouds!

As part of the work conference activities, we went to a place called Challenge Hill at Woodhouse. It comprises of a variety of different physical challenges for you to attempt and challenge yourself on. Woodhouse is a great place for school camps and whilst we were there they also had three separate school groups enjoying the activities.

To make Challenge Hill a little harder, I had to help Matt get through the challenges with his eyes closed! Matt did a great job and I think I did a great job helping him as well, except when I got a little distracted taking pictures of the scenery.

A lot of the activities involved balancing on logs, using ropes to steady yourself, squeezing through tight spaces and climbing over walls. Matt is not going to like this but above is my favourite picture. I mean seriously how could I not share it - what a cute butt!

I decided to take on this small tin contraption above called the Mouse Trap. Inside this is a maze, a very tight, dark maze. Lucky for me I am short and it was easy to work my way through it to get to the end but it sure is dark and scary in there!

We had a wonderful time taking on challenges and having fun supporting each other. It was a great team building activity for us as husband and wife and it was great to just get outside, to participate in some physical activities, that were held in such a fun environment. It was a memorable trip and we loved every moment of it.
