Go Ape! High Wire Forest Adventure

publication date: May 17, 2007
|
 

While you may not have considered taking part in an activity that takes you high up into the trees, this is one day out that is guaranteed to leave all the family feeling exhilarated. No special skills
are required, but you will glow home glowing from a sense of achievement!

Your session begins with a half-hour safety briefing and adults are from there on responsible for the children - for example checking their safety harness. However staff are always on hand to support your adventure and to make sure you have the best experience ever!

Moving from tree to tree using an assortment of spectacular rope bridges and Tarzan-type swings, it takes about three hours to complete the course - which is split into five or six separate zones and is set some 40 metres above the ground. An exhilarating zip slide brings you back down to the forest floor at the end of each section.

And at the end of the adventure there is plenty more to see and do. Hire mountain bikes to explore the forest, picnic in some shady nook and observe the wildlife.

This is an unusual family day out. A forest setting with a difference and certainly something to do during the summer holidays!
