To celebrate Sam’s birthday we went to Go Ape at Bedgebury Pinetum in Kent. We had excellent weather and it was great fun (if a little scary at times – at least for the adults!).
They were very hot on safety so first we had instructions to read plus a safety briefing and help getting into our harnesses.
Most of the following photos were taken from the ground by HunYieng.
As she was using a long telephoto lens it can be difficult to gauge how high up we actually were. The next two photos were taken by me (Mike) from one of the walkways and, hopefully, they give a reasonable impression of the actual height we were above ground.
There were lots of different bridges and swings between the tree posts and each section ended with a descent back down to the ground on a zip wire – the best bit if you ask me!
The highest point for a zip wire was 13 m, which can be seen in the picture above (the platform above Thomas and Matthew) and the longest was 146 m.
Here’s a selection of pictures showing what we got up to, ending with some of us on the zip wire.
