Anyone looking for an outdoor adrenalin rush will find all the action they need at Go Ape, one of the UK's largest outdoor adventure companies. They operate 26 high wire sites across the UK at varying levels of excitement and style. All of them involve activities using zip wires, ropes and the like, making Go Ape a popular choice with climbers and younger people.
Their 26 adventure courses are set up within the forests of England, Scotland and Wales. Highlights include the UK's longest zip line course (at 426 metres long) outside of Stirling at Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. Their day rates are reasonable considering the unique quality of the activity, but with a discount voucher from Go Ape the prices get even better.
The typical two- to three-hour tree top adventure involves rope ladders, trapezes, zip lines and suspension bridges. It's like clambering around the top of the forest canopy, and is great fun and exercise for kids as young as 10. They even have special excursions for kids aged four and up. Discount vouchers from Go Ape often include two-for-one deals and other group offers.
If the idea of being up in the trees makes you nervous, enjoy the adventure on the ground with a Segway or mountain bike. Tree top adventures can be given as gifts or enjoyed personally, though they're best done with a friend or group.
