★★★★☆

written by reviewkitten on 23/07/2010

We visited Go Ape as part of a corporate day out and I was slightly apprehensive as I'm not amazingly fit or strong and the idea of swinging about in the trees worried me. When we arrived the site looked lovely, tucked away in Swinley Forest in Bracknell. We were given a safety talk and showed how to use our harnesses and had a go ourselves. Once I'd completed the first mini course and zip wire I felt a lot better. We started on what was possibly the hardest course which was high in the trees. On parts of the course you have options to take easy or harder routes depending on your experience and nerves ;) This was a great feature as some of the crossings looked way too hard for me.



There are lots of different types of crossings to try all ending with a zip wire (which is my favourite bit) including rope cargo nets which you swing onto using the Tarzan swing; these take real leaps of faith as you leave the platform and swing through the open air attached only by your harness. At times I was petrified but pushed onwards as I knew I only had a couple of crossings to go before descending on the zip wire. There were plenty of funny landings into the wood bark and all in all the day was much better than I had expected. Even if you're scared of heights I'd recommend you try Go Ape once as it could really help you and the team that works there gives you plenty of tips and encouragement.
