We (family) did a Segway session with Go Ape which is situated within the Whinlatter forest area, and they were spot on. Friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the session, our guide (sadly I forget his name) took us through the Segway operation basics, guided us at a perfect pace, until we feltconfident enough (within 5 minutes) to pootle around on them without issue.

I had a fantastic time on the Treetop Adventure Plus coarse today. The coarse has a good mix of easy and more challenging sections with great views of the surrounding area. My favourite section was the Plus with the alpine zip ropes. I should also mention the instructors who were brilliant. They were friendly and professional.
