Grizedale Forest Reviews

What an incredible day! Our party of 10 visited Go Ape on Sunday, a mix of seasoned zip-liners and nervous first-time fliers, and Vic and Ronan made it an experience we’ll never forget. Their perfect balance of fun banter and rock-solid professionalism put everyone at ease, from the teenagers to the almost-pensioners!

Zip trek was a mind blowing experience!! Good variety in the speed/views/length of the zip lines. You get to do 8 long zips in a really untouched area accompanied by fun and reassuring instructors. Every zip is tandem so you can watch each other as you go!! Our instructors Emily and Louis were fab. It's not too scary as the starting platforms are close to the ground but you get a thrill zooming over the valleys! Totally recommend, well worth the price we paid.

From the outset the staff here set you at ease as they give the safety brief. No easy feat for someone like myself who is not great with heights. Came here to challenge myself and achieved that in the best possible way. Safety is always first, but the course is just high enough, far enough and tricky enough to keep that edge of excitement. Looking down on the site four zip wire is not an experience I will forget in a hurry. Was I really that high up?
