Zip Trekking Adventure for One at Go Ape
About this experience
Enjoy the ultimate tree-top thrill as you descend through the beautiful Grizedale Forest in Cumbria on seven amazing zip wires suspended high up among the tree tops. This is the longest zip wire experience in the UK, and the bird’s-eye views as you whizz along the entire 3km makes it one of the most stunning.
After your safety briefing and a short walk, you’ll be driven by Land Rover up winding mountain roads to the start of the course in the Cumbrian hills. Zip 1 is a ‘nursery’ line to ease you in gently, but don’t worry, the speed and the excitement will quickly increase as you whiz over the majestic Douglas fir trees, high above the forest floor. An exhilarating two-hour experience and the chance to see the forest from a unique vantage point.

What happens on the day?
On arrival you will be directed to the training centre where you will receive instructions and a safety briefing, as well as being fitted with your zip line harness. From here you will need to walk up hill across fairly challenging terrain for about 20 minutes to reach the vehicle pick-up point from where you will be given a lift by Land Rover to the start of the course, high up in the hills.
Zip Trekking Adventure involves a total of seven different zip wires that take you down the hillside at treetop level and at high speed. Enjoy spectacular views and the wind in your face as you whizz through the forest air. Your final zip wire descent will return you to the car park, from where it’s a short walk back to the cabin to return your harness and retrieve any valuables from the lockers.

Opening times vary on daylight hours; as early as 08.00 in the summer.
We recommend you book at least six weeks in advance to ensure that dates are available. All bookings are subject to availability.
