IT'S FINALLY HERE!!

Great news for all working at and visiting Stanley Head - the new ropes course is finished and entertained its first group in August. It seemed like forever waiting for it to be built but we can safely say it was worth the wait!

As well as a nerve shredding High Ropes challenge, the course also includes an 80 metre Zip Line, Climbing and Abseil Tower, All Aboard, The Rack (both excellent team challenges), Crate Stacking and a Powerfan (clip on and jump off..!). Have a look at the photos below - for those that remember our old one, you'll notice that this one is a significant improvement.
