 Risk Assessments

We understand that, by definition, there is an element of risk in adventurous activities. However, we have an excellent safety record by managing the risks through a number of measures. At the same time, we still ensure that participants get full enjoyment out of the session and importantly, still feel that sense of danger – after all – even with a rope, harness and instructor – 30 feet up in the trees is still a long way up!

We are also accredited by a number of national governing bodies who have inspected the centre to ensure that our sessions are delivered in a safe manner.
