GoApe!

Today I went to GoApe!
GoApe is a chain of high rope courses, which has 27 different locations.
You start off with a 30 minute safety brief, a quick turn on the practice course and you are left to your own devices! The parks have 5 sites (including the practice one). I will point out the Highlights:

Highlight #1. The Scenery
The place that these courses are set in are breathtaking. Plus, you get to Zipwire through (and sometimes above!) the beautiful area.

Highlight #2. The Rings
Although this part is optional (as are all the obstacles rated Extreme), I took this route and never regretted it. Around 8-10 rings hang from ropes, and you have to try and get across by stepping through them. It might be slightly frustrating, but you will love it.

Highlight #3. The Tarzan Swing
I don't think anyone would leave this out if they were pointing out the highlights of GoApe. It may seem terrifying at first glance, but once you are off the platform (and possibly screaming) you will have the time of your life. There is a Huge drop, so you will feel like you're flying. At the end, you are flung into a giant rope net, which you then climb up. There is an alternative if you can't bring yourself to step off the platform, as this is another Extreme rated activity.

Highlight #4. The Wobbly Bridge
Although this isn't too difficult, it is great fun trying to run across- before falling off to one side! Challenge your friends or relatives to see who can run across the wobbly bridge the furthest without falling off. GoApe is still a great activity to do on your own, so try to not hold on when you go across or attempt to run across without falling off!

Highlight #5. The Net
Another obstacle which is moderately easy, I liked the net because it was an activity that you could just swing in mid-air and enjoy the view down through the ropes. Alternitavely, you could run across really fast and fall to the sides with the nets there to push you back up!

Highlight #6. The Zipwires
I decided to put this at the end because at the end of every site, there was a zipwire to take you back to the ground. The zipwires are breathtaking, yet they only last a few seconds. Look down and you'll see the striking scenery, look ahead and you'll see the great height you have just stepped from, or encouraging family and friends waving down at you!

I would undoubtably reccomend GoApe, even if you are scared of heights as it may help you conquer your fear. It is an astonishing experience guarenteed to take your breath away. Be sure to bring  camera!
