Abseiling
Falling to earth is such an exhilarating feeling and in this beginner's abseiling session you'll learn all the skills to be able to control your descent down our 10 metre tower.
Climbing
Our 10 metre climbing wall has been cleverly designed with routes for beginners that will familiarise them with climbing techniques and skills, and more demanding options to challenge experienced climbers. The session starts with tuition and a safety briefing from an experienced instructor, then it's time to head skywards.
Zip Wire
Get ready for a real white-knuckle adventure. Start by ascending our 10 metre tower your safety harness will be connected to the zip wire and you'll fly 100 metres through the air before abseiling to the ground. There's no feeling quite like it.
High Ropes
You'll need a good head for heights to tackle our spectacular and exciting high ropes course. Guided by an instructor, you'll climb poles to the different levels then balance your way along beams and ropes. But remember, it gets harder the higher you go! At the end of the course you arrive at the ultimate daredevil challenge; Leap of Faith. Will you have the nerve to jump?
3G Swing
Experience the freedom and thrill of flying through the air. Once you've climbed to the top of our impressive 10 metre tower, you'll have to summon all your daring to lean forward and drop into thin air! Securely harnessed to our 3G swing, you'll fly through the air, swinging to a gentle halt before abseiling to the ground.
Fan Descender
Experience the thrill of parachuting as you step off the 10-metre platform and make a quick, controlled descent to the ground.

Get ready to scramble the spiders web, battle the burma bridge and dance across the organ pipes! With our instructors 6 meters below to encourage you, what better way to test your nerve and skill.
