For Treetop Adventure and Treetop Challenge, you can book the session before or after. We will ensure that your party complete the activity together, although large groups may be split for the safety briefing. Author Katie Kinsella, also said, “Having previously worked for Go Ape and currently working as a Teacher, I wanted to write a story that captures Go Ape’s spirit: nature; exploring and achieving; risk benefit and the power of teamwork. Repeat the process for the adventure you haven't yet added to your basket. If you book Treetop Adventure or Treetop Adventure Plus first, we recommend booking Nets Adventure at least 1hour and 30minutes after the start time of your first session. Marketing Director, Jo O’Boyle, said, “Publishing our first book is a fantastic way to extend Go Ape adventure memories with our younger audience. It shows exactly what happens on a visit and the emotions that most people go through on our courses.

Witton Country Park is the starting point of the Weaver’s Way. Also known as ‘The Way’, the 32-mile long distance walking trail passes landmarks such as the grade II listed Silk Hall, Pleasington Priory, and as the name suggests, weaver’s cottages. The landscape is picturesque, featuring reservoirs, valleys, woodland and views across the Pennine Moors.

Great fun for all the family and very safe. The staff fully explain how the safety systems work to make sure you remain safe around the course, which is different between the junior and adult courses. The junior course has a safety system where you follow the wire for the entire course and the staff connect you up - perfect as it means you don't have to worry about keeping a constant watch that your children are doing it right. The adult course requires a more hands on approach as you have to keep moving from one safety wire to the next, which allows you to choose between different difficulty options - but you have two lines and must always have one connected so you're not at risk of falling. With a whopping five Dorset outdoor activities, there's an adrenaline-filledexperience for all thrill-seekers of all ages. The courses vary and offer a range of activities. The junior course has two courses and you get to choose which one to go one each time you go round - they operate a time limit here so you can go round as many times as you like in an hour. For Treetop Adventure, Treetop Adventure Plus and Treetop Challenge, you can book the session before or after. We will ensure that your party complete the activity together, although large groups may be split for the safety briefing. The staff are really friendly and guide you through the process to make sure you remain safe but also enjoy your time.
