REVIEW It’s great fun trying to stay still as you navigate swings, ladders and a highaltitude zip wire Walking above the trees Go Ape, well-known around the country for its adventure courses, has opened its second branch in North London in Alexandra Palace Being out in the open air is a therapeutic, soothing experience. It makes you happier and feel more at ease with yourself. This is especially true of children, who will delight at the experience of Go Ape – an unrivalled opportunity to spent time in a forest and find their inner Tarzan. But walking above the trees? Don’t worry, they tie you in a secure harness so that even if you trip, you won’t fall. I went with a friend who was nervous about her safety and badgered the Go Ape team with just about every silly question she could think of. They were calm and reassuring as they told her there was nothing to be afraid of. The worst-case scenario was falling off the swings and staying suspended in midair – which would amuse the children and parents around us, but nothing more. But I have to say that those innocentlooking swings were a lot higher up than they appeared from the ground. It was such a thrill to look down below – you really feel the adrenaline pumping. But the harnesses do their job and reassure you as move along the course. It’s great fun trying to stay still as you navigate swings, ladders and a highaltitude zip wire. The experience takes about one hour in all, depending how fast you go. It was a rainy day when we went, which we thought would be unsuitable for this kind of activity – but this was not the case. In fact, the mud made it all the more fun: rain is perfectly fine, but thundery conditions are not suitable for Go Ape. Both my friend – who has a fear of heights – and I were able to navigate the challenging Tree Top Junior without getting stuck in mid-air. It was such a delight to complete an outdoor activity like this. Go Ape Alexandra Palace is a healthy family day out combining adrenaline, open air and physical activity. We’ll be back with our nephews and nieces before you know it. Go Ape’s prices start from £18. Visit goape.co.uk 33
