Go Ape

What is go Ape?

Go ape is a fun adventurous day out usually lasting 2-3 hours, climbing around some of britains most beautiful forests. Most of the time you will be off ground using our zip wires, Tarzan swings and our different syles of crossings.

Zip wires

A zip wire is a wire that gets you from one destination to another- without touching the ground. All you do is connect your harness onto the wire push off and glide along the wire until you get to the end. You will get wind rushing into your face and will feel as though you are flying.

 

Tarzan Swings

 This is where you will be on a platform up in the air, you will have a big rope in front of you, all you need to do is grab the rope and jump off the platform and swing through the air (like tarzan) into a cargo net, which you will have to grab on to then climb up the net onto another platform. Below is a video of what a tarzan swing is, watch to get a better view of what you need to do:
 

Tunnels

 

 A tunnel is a way of getting you on your hands and knee's whilst being 50ft up in the air. They are wooden tubes suspended up in the air which you have to crawl through to get to another destination. It will be a test of courage, as when you crawl through, the tunnel wont just stay still, it will be wobbling around, making you feel as though you are going to fall, but as always you are wearing a harness.

 

Which route should you take?

 

There are 2 different types of routes you can take when up in the tree's, You can take the Green route which is easy. You may not be confident, or may be scared of heights so this is the route for you as the crossings will be easier than if you take the black route which takes good balance and coordination, this is called the severe route. So which route will you take? Black or green?
