Nature’s gifts are here to stay and regard. While proper precautionary measures need to be taken in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, you can enjoy some extreme adventures under the current circumstances or learn about extreme sports practices. Subject to applicable government authorities’ rules, you may consider any of the following activities which allow smoothly adopting social distancing practices:
1) Private guided river trekking, rappelling or caving tour
Explore caves, walk on rivers or rappel along with healthy family members with whom you cohabitate.
2) Flying by means of zip lines
Reserve a zip line adventure through a tour provider business with the corresponding certified guides.
3) Putting on your sport climbing gear and start climbing
If you are a sport climber, do not overthink it. Search for your next sport climbing route, schedule the adventure with your buddy, and apply social distancing measures, as appropriate.
4) Watching virtual lectures or workshops on best extreme adventure practices
Certified instructors can teach about the extreme sport of your preference (i.e.: caving, rappelling, canyoneering, or rock climbing). You may learn about the basics of the sport, skill enhancement and suggested safety and precautionary measures.
5) Taking a one-on-one sport climbing course
Search for certified sport climbing instructors and reserve private lessons. Apply social distancing measures, as appropriate.
Since quality of life is important always, the present is the best time to reorganize step-by-step how you will connect with nature or learn about an extreme sport while protecting your health. Balance is key to temporary lifestyle adjustments during the current pandemic. Play safely.
