susiepoos Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 OMG Went to Grizedale Forest on Saturday with some friends from work and my youngest son and his friend. Don't know if any of you have done Go Ape before but it's a great day out but a flippin scary one I'm all for a challenge but being 70ft up in a tree and being asked to walk a tightrope is pure madness - OH doesn't like heights so he didn't join in just watched but then again my son doesn't like heights and he had a ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ached everywhere yesterday but it's just my arms today - bit of a wake up call really as it's proven to me that I need to get some weight off but overall it was a great day and well worth the money and we did have a laugh - well everyone laughed at me http://www.goape.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Sounds great!!!! - but I think I'll give it a miss. I don't mind heights but don't fancy hauling my Eglubum up that high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Me too, I get dizzy wearing thick socks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I've done the one at Bracknell. Shaking with fear before I started but very proud of myself after I managed to get all the way around. Love to do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Ooooh... we did something like that in France once (well the girls and OH did, I too get dizzy just looking out of the first floor window), and the girls would love to do it again... I'll look into these, I didn't know there were some locations in the UK... I do presume that people are attached to something while tiptoe-ing, shimmying and generally going round between trees?

bronze Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I would love it. Though having said that I had a ball at the childrens version www.bewilderwood.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I want to do Go Ape but waiting till Layla is old enough to do it too. Bewilderwood is on our list of places to visit this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I would love it! I like all that kind of stuff, even if my balance isn't what it was. Grizedale Forest is beautiful too. I haven't been there for years, but I bet it's still as gorgeous. Edited for silly typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
