There is usually always one, and that was me!
Showing off for a video, let’s just say I lost my
balance, almost fell off - apparently did an
impressive one hand, one leg manoeuvre, but, I
rescued myself and managed to get out in one
piece – those martial art lessons have obviously
helped my balance! You can view on Facebook!
We then explored the forest as a group but
increased to the speed of 12mph. After a ride out
into the forest, we arrived back at training camp,
concluding our Segway experience.
After a quick picnic stop, we then went straight
onto the Treetop Adventure. We were safely
fitted with our harnesses and before climbing
up into the trees we had a practice run around a
short course, which was approximately 2 feet off
the ground. I rather liked the practice bit, there
were two of us in the group who are not so keen
on heights. I find I prefer to wobble about in the
air with the certain knowledge that if I fall off
the rope, I won’t fall to far. Putting me to shame,
there were people flying across the ropes in the
sky. The first cable crossing didn’t look all that
intimidating until I had climbed up to it, then
something primitive kicked in my brain, making
me feel quite uneasy, but I overcame it and
soldiered on
On a couple of occasions there are ‘easy’ and
‘advanced’ options. My favourite part was the
Tarzan Swing - a dangling rope that sees you
freefall for an adrenaline-pumping moment,
before being caught by a cargo net. You’ll feel
like you’ve had the most fun workout of your life
- and that’s without mentioning how proud you’ll
feel afterwards!
We had a totally unforgettable Go Ape
experience! At the end of the course, after racing
your partner down a double zip line, we were
each presented with a certificate to prove our
bravery. There is also a Go Ape Junior Treetop
challenge for adventurous children and big kids.
