Default Go Ape!

Heard about this on Elliot in the Morning. It looks like a lot of fun and is located in Rock Creek Park. I’m pretty sure it’s the only one in the Country. Grand opening is May 8.

It’s not in the dictionary, but if it was, Go Ape would be described as a ‘tree top adventure’.

That means we build giant obstacle courses up in the trees using ladders, walkways, bridges and tunnels made of wood, rope and super-strong wire, and top it all off with the world's best zip lines (including our massive 1,400 foot line in Scotland – check it out on You Tube).

We then equip people with harnesses, pulleys and carabiners, give them a 30 minute safety briefing and training and let them loose into the forest canopy, free to swing through the trees. Of course, instructors are always on hand, regularly patrolling the forests (not in monkey suits unfortunately!)

The result is spectacular. The Go Ape experience gets the adrenalin pumping, gets people out of their comfort zones and above all (no pun intended), it’s just great fun.
