Go Ape!



Sarah chose to go to Go Ape with a friend as a birthday treat (in lieu of a party, etc). Go Ape is a high ropes course with a variety of obstacles or challenges, most of which are quite high up in the trees. It's all very safe and professional, so any grandmas reading this don't need to worry. Under 18s have to be accompanied by an adult, and 15s & under can only have 2 kids to one adult, so Sarah and her friend Jess went; I went with them. I have to say, it was great fun, especially the Tarzan swings and the zipwires. I could have easily done just those sections several more times...








I love the way the course is laid out in the treetops, so that you really feel you are part of the forest while doing it. At Alice Holt, the forest that our local(ish) course is in, there are walking and cycling paths which run beneath the course in places, so you often get folks watching as you navigate a particular challenge or wait on a platform for your turn to go.











It really was a lovely choice of things to do - we all had a great time.

Who is in that last picture? I recognize Jess, but the other child doesn't look like Sarah.
