We bought our nephew a Go Ape voucher for Christmas...and in November finally redeemed it! My husband and I had been to a few courses before and knew the fun to expect, but my brother-in-law and the kids were newcomers - and they loved it! It was a bit chilly at first on a November morning, but once we'd got going we soon warmed up. With the trees swaying in the wind, our "no hands" challenge was trickier, but no less fun. A great day out!
