Went to the one up near Grizedale for a stag do.

Thoe who have vertigo make it much more fun for everyone else too 🙂

I’ve been on the Cannock Chase one twice – last year for my hen do, and yesterday for my birthday. It’s a great laugh – the only thing I’d say is try going mid-week, as it gets busy at the weekends.

Did one in the Alps. I'm "nervous" of hights. On some occasions I had to really have words with myself to get myself to attempt the next stage. Then at the end I decided it'd be a chuckle to do the extra "hard" version - an extra 6 or so stations that basically involved massive upper body strength. At this point I was shattered and the pain was hard enough to overcome so I forgot about the heights!

Great fun. Not sure what the UK ones are like, but if they're similar it'll be worth the cash, and mroe.

It's good fun. Try and do that balance bits without gripping onto the wire handrail things - I found it really physically hard to make myself do it.

The zip wires and the 'jungle swing' thing were great fun, wasn't overly into the balance bits. I do think it's more catered towards people who don't usually do anything at all scary.

Still worth doing though.

It is great fun if you time each bit and race across them. Or perhaps we are just sad and nerdy and over-competitive.

I thought [url= http://www.ttadventure.co.uk/index.htm ]*this*[/url] looked better, especially the 100ft plummet, haven't tried it yet though.

Great fun. Done Grizedale and Delamere. If you end up on a platform with somebody that you don't know try saying "This is how they taught me to do it in the SAS"... then scream like a little girl when you jump off.

If you land backwards on the zip lines it will drive sand about 18" up your ass.

I'm always trying to ge Mr MC to do it but he's not interested! I think it looks awesome. I'm hoping to do the one in the Forest of Dean for a hen do in July! If you go to the go ape website you can see which one has the longest zip slide and highest points etc.

Delamere had the longest one a couple of years ago. Don't know if the new ones have beaten it.

I liked Grizedale more because it was higher up.

Great fun. We are probably having the high wire log trail at Avon Tyrrell open for the Big Bike Bash. Zip wire and climbing wall are confirmed.

Pah, that's nothing.

I got dragged (literally, I HATE heights) on this when in CR 2 years ago:

Bloody terrifying, I only opened my eyes after the first 3..........
