Go Ape Tree Top Adventure is encouraging Scots to take their first step on the journey to an adventurous summer by swinging through the tree-tops in Aberfoyle, Peebles or Aberdeenshire.
The outdoor forest adventure offers an exhilarating experience hanging out in the great outdoors, flying down zip wires, leaping off Tarzan swings and navigating obstacles, crossings and rope bridges, high above the forest floor.
For those looking to live life to the full and push themselves to new heights, there are three unique Go Ape courses located across Scotland, each featuring a Tree Top Adventure, set amidst some of the country’s most breath-taking scenery.
• Go Ape Aberfoyle in Stirlingshire, located in Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, is zip wire heaven and home to two of Britain’s longest zip wires, each stretching over 400m long, flying people 150 feet above the ground and over a 90 foot waterfall.
• Go Ape Peebles is built on the hillside within the striking Glentress Forest and takes advantage of the valley for some jaw-dropping exposure and challenges the laws of gravity with the highest zip wire in the country, located above a magnificent reservoir.
• Go Ape Crathes Castle in Aberdeenshire is located in the landmark grounds of the castle and features the bold skateboard zip wire. With turrets and towers, winding staircases and ancient sculpted yew trees; historic Crathes Castle’s 595 acre estate offers a fantastic day out.
Steven McGirr, site manager at Go Ape Aberfoyle, said: “Go Ape’s all about living life adventurously and embracing an amazing sense of freedom in the outdoors. Taking the first step on the journey to a new experience can unleash a new spirit for adventure.”
Go Ape prices range from £33 for a gorilla (aged 16 and over) to £25 for a baboon (aged 10 to 15).
