Rated 4 Bananas Anna 17 December 2011
Enjoyed the Cargo net immensely, a shame there was only one on the course. A great idea was giving people a choice to avoid the more difficult tree top experiences - although i selected the hard option every time!
Rated 5 Bananas Owen 7 December 2011
Great fun, really enjoyed. The tarzan swing was amazing, very funny.
Rated 4 Bananas Craig 1 December 2011
It was great to have a scare navigating the course! Jumping off holding onto a rope and hitting a cargo net was the best bit of the course.
Rated 3 Bananas S 1 December 2011
