Taking advantage of the warm British weather, I immediately arranged an outdoor adventure with friends at GoApe, London (there are several nearest directly to Google Maps). Adventure in the jungle like a monkey, super exciting and fun! The main test of balance and arm strength! There are also sections that swing directly from one tree head to another (my favorite one!!).
This is similar to the one I played in Southeast Asia, but this one is higher. We went to cockfoster, which was a bit far away, but in the natural forest, the place was larger and the most interesting of all the options. From the city by subway more than an hour, do not want to go so far Battersea also have, the whole fun experience about 3 hours, together with the previous Induction, how happy I know, find a sunny day in the forest gulping oxygen, super cool.
Project: GO APE
Cost: £43/ person our chosen treetop challenge, Plus, is great for a few friends or Team building to play
Time:
Ticket booking: to book in advance on the official website, there are many venues to choose from, search the GoApe official website, there are many cities in London, there are several locations to choose from, the most common is to Battersea park in the south and Cockfoster in the north, on the Piccadilly line terminus, is said to be the closest to nature one. Two difficulty options are available: Treetop Challenge and Challenge Plus. It is recommended that beginners choose Treetop. The southern section is smaller, but has a wide range of difficulty levels, ranging from 20 to 38 pounds.
I went to cockfoster in the north and said it was the biggest and hardest base in GoApe, there were only two options, we bought treetop challenge, 36lbs, be sure to buy gloves! The all-inclusive kind! Over 3 pounds. 10% student discount on student beans.
ps: Remember to buy a glove when you check out or it will be easy to chafe when playing
This go ape in Cockfosters is supposed to be the biggest in London, right? Before I found out that I have been particularly want to go to pull a friend to accompany me ha ha ha they have been twice!
You need to book tickets on the official website in advance, and then wear the equipment after you arrive (you can buy sports gloves with fingers on the other side, the fingers of the gloves are exposed, which is particularly easy to scratch and it is really painful to buckle all the time). After wearing, everyone will have a little training to master the function of each equipment on our body. After the convenience of their own safer operation (because after entering the forest every link is needed to check and buckle, if not learned really particularly dangerous. The platform is very, very high, and the photos can't be taken) The crew is below us, and they don't follow us all the time, so they basically operate all the time in the high air.
After all the preparatory matters are completed, you can enter the forest area, there are four or five main bases all the way through the level to play, and then there are many different routes to choose, really fun! It is recommended that you play the grid route is very cool, I in the second grid route because there are a little more people I chose another extremely difficult road, pain and happiness, playing while Shouting too fun to come next time but today the next day get up like a full body was hit as painful hahaha.
The instructor is very good, the explanation is very careful, the safety can be guaranteed, from wearing the rope to a slightly lower platform experience, a total of more than 40 minutes of explanation, the whole is divided into 5 parts, each part has to climb the tree first, then a variety of high-altitude projects, and finally the end of the zip line, the height of the latter two levels will be higher and higher, the rope is more and more exciting.
Some projects have a sense of weightlessness, really like a small bungee jumping, there are some nets to test the strength of the arms, I think my arm strength is not bad now has been in pain for a day, writing a paper did not move waste.
It is not as difficult as I imagined, because the rope of each pass is very close, and you can grab it and go, and believe that you are brave and finished!
At the end of the day, you get a certificate of success in the challenge, and it's really fun to walk through the jungle with apes. Remember to wear comfortable clothes (it gets dirty), try not to wear glasses, and keep your phone in your pocket.
After playing to meet my expectations of bungee jumping and various zip lines! I usually love walking, is more love moving, the following description is limited to personal feelings: much more interesting!!! To meet my expectations of bungee jumping and all the ropes to Go to the UK's most difficult Go ape cockfoster tree top challenge, lasting three hours, challenging myself and testing physical strength, people are already tired and flat.
Finally, after playing, there is an ice cream truck at the entrance, and the milk is super rich! It's the strongest I've had in London and I'm going back for that ice cream
🌳Tips:
- Eat and then go to play, very physical consumption, there is water to drink * such as 22. If you have outdoor gloves you can bring your own, otherwise you should buy them at your own expense
- Try to wear old clothes or outdoor materials, because the zipline link will still land on the butt and the back is dry mud, wearing cotton clothes is easy to dirty, I wore yoga clothes is OK.
