Great afternoon. At Rivington. Easy to book on line. Staff realy friendly. Great fun on the 5 sections of the session, walking through the tree tops. bridges. swings, cargo nets and great Zip wires. Training was good with out being over the top. Safe and confidant all the way round. Jacub was great with kids giving them encouragement and challenge. Supervising without them knowing it (which is a top skill). Had to gave them five stars because they don't go higher !

Booked this day out as a birthday treat! I wanted to do something a bit different this year and get myself out of my comfort zone and this day definitely helped me do that! Staff were great and so accommodating for our group as we had a last minute cancellation and a toddler to look after as we went around. Particular shout out for Adam and his great safety demos and even better pep talks to build your confidence in yourself! Thoroughly enjoyed the day and hope to be back again soon!😁
