My cousins Kuya Andrew, Gwing, Kuya Jofer, Marc, and I just came from Camp Sabros. To start of our misadventure, we missed this very important sign…
So we passed through Digos City (where Camp Sabros is) then panicked upon seeing the “Thank You! Come Again to Digos” signage. 🙁
Not such a great way to start a fun summer outing. It was a sign of things to come… dun dun duuuun!
We had to turn back, tried to find the correct way, and realized we wasted a lot of time by getting lost. When we saw a McDonald’s we immediately went down to buy lunch, but wasn’t able to because it was only 10 am and they would only start serving non-breakfast food at 10:30 am. SAAAD!
Then we began the long trip to Camp Sabros. It was loooong and bumpeh! Then we tried to trek from the parking area to the actual site. Gwing, Marc, and I failed at being trekkers so we rode motorcycles. It was my first time to ride a motorcycle. Nothing exciting.
Then, we arrived at Camp Sabros, when it was almost our turn, the people manning the zipline had to eat lunch. 🙁 So we also ate lunch… a so-so, overpriced lunch. 🙁
Finally, we had our turn at the longest zipline in the Philippines…
And here’s the Ria and Gwing video by Kuya Andrew:
We had a screaming contest. LOL!
It was 380 meters long above a valley and among pine trees and other greenery at a height of 180ft. Zipline speed = 380 meters / 50 seconds = 7.6 m/s = 27.36 km/hr = GRAWRRR!
The lift ride back to the camp site was 3 minutes long… suspended up high… with no real harnesses or anything stable or flat to step on. Scary!
Gwing’s tears flowed out while I closed my eyes most of the time. Needless to say, we were screaming. 😀
Watch out for more embarrassing photos and videos of me and Gwing. 😀
The zipline was a fun and thrilling must-try experience but the entire trip was a disappointment.
{I MIGHT make a longer, better video if I don’t get too lazy. :P}
Ang saya! Walang sinabi yung zipline sa Eden!
WOW ang haba noon! Katakot!
Ate Aileeeen – FINALLY! I succeed at being adventurous. 😀 The lift ride back was 3 minutes of pure terror!
wow ! finally nagzipline ka ! dun pa sa pinakabongga !
doubled-up with gwing = double the screams… hehehehehe!
at least mukhang highlight yung zipline kahit yung overall trip nyo was a bummer.
question: one way lang ba yung zipline ? how do you get back when you’re at the other side ?
@jeric – OO! 😀
@jaydj – You can avail of the two-way zipline ride like Kuya and the other boys. Or you can ride the chair lift of death. 😀
Mali ang calculation mo.
You start from rest then accelerate so it was way much faster — nakalimutan ata ang gravity (tapos below horizon ang angle ng line).
Pwede natin masolve ang ideal (no external forces such as friction, etc except gravity) speed kung alam mo ang angle or yung difference ng heights between the two stations. 😀
@Mikko – Kumusta naman yun? Speed po calculate ko not velocity… 😛
How about your near-death experience with the motorcycle?
@Drew – That experience deserves a post of its own. LOL!
uhm, ah eh.. kung marami pa siguro magawa dun other than the zipline and the very terrifying cable car, ok sana siya.. kulang pa gayods sa deveilowpment.. pero fun pa rin ang zipline..:)
Mas exciting yata yung dito kaysa ung sa eden.
WOW!
Sarap!
Inggit ang gold digger! hahahha
@riajose – wala bang stairs? yun una ko inisip how you got up
@Cesar – Didn’t try Eden.
@migs- SARAP! Pero namutla ako sa takot!
@Aileen – No stairs! YEY! 😀
Ngayon alam ko na sa stairs ka talaga takot nung sa Eden. 😀 Pero mukhang super takot ka sa video. 😀
@Mikko – LOL! SUPER TAKOT TALAGA!
Akala ko ba mutant ka, isa kang mutant na hindi brave! Wahehehehe.
Hi Ria. I’m going to Davao next week and this zipride has really raised my curiousity that I included it in my itinerary. I enjoyed reading your post and I became more excited. May I ask, do I need to make a reservation at Camp Sabros to have the zipride? Or I’ll just show myself there?
Regards,
JAx
ei.. how much did you spend for the zipline?
zipride at Camp Sabros sarap, lalo na ung pa treetop
