#BeMoreDog with O2

Last Friday, I was sent two locked boxes from O2 as part of their #BeMoreDog campaign. The idea is for everyone to be more adventurous and to try something new, like a dog would rather than be lazy like a cat. So, one of the boxes had ‘I’m a dog’ on it and the other ‘I’m a cat’. I had no idea what was going to be inside but I chose the dog one and waited for O2 to tweet me the code.

Once I’d got the box open, the piece of paper inside said that me and a friend were going to GoApe on Sunday. I took my friend Hannah and we were expecting to have to climb trees and go down zipwires so she was pretty terrified, but it turns out we were actually riding segways around the forest (Cannock Chase) for an hour. It was brilliant fun and is not the sort of thing I’d usually try (mainly because it’s £30 a go!) but I really want to do it again. We were surprised at how easy it was to control the segways and it didn’t take long for us to gain confidence, we were soon whizzing around the forest and almost running over dogs and small children. It’s definitely inspired us to #BeMoreDog so thanks a lot for the opportunity O2!

    I love the “Be More Dog” adverts and I think the concept is really fantastic! Who doesn’t want to get outside their comfort zones more and have fun, eh! Looks like you had a lovely day, I’ve always been keen to try Segways but like you the price would put me off (and I’m a bit of a wimp at heart too haha) xx

    It does look so much fun, something I’ve considered in the past but never done!

    This looks like a right hoot, I was supposed to drive a tank but couldn’t get there so they changed it to quad biking. I nearly cried for the full hour, found it terrifying but glad I did it x
