The Rocket slide in Telford

11 July 2003   

 

The Rocket slide in Telford

rocketcage.jpg The Rocket. I've been trying to get them to go on this for a while now, but they always say, "when I'm bigger." Usually it's packed with kids. But yesterday, after school, around 6:30pm it was empty.

I had to go up the first few times and lift Bradly up the very first step. But they soon got the hang of it, and Bradley, in his excitement, while I was off in the roses with Esme having a pee, managed to get up that first step.

[Update:] Bradley's been stopped going down the curly shoot. He's too small, and gets thrown about, coming out head first and upside down, rubbing his head.

Funny poses, seems to be the name of the game these days.

The thing is full of little layers connected by small ladders, too small for me.

Hmmm. As ever Bradley is the first to do down. He's younger and more easily persuaded by Esme. Or, is that manipulated?

It's a big black hole! I get them to scream on the way down, that way I can have an idea where they are.

It's big, very big!
