Forests are incredibly eye-catching during the autumn months, when the once-green canopy is transformed into a rainbow of reds, oranges, golds and what better way to experience this than high up in the trees at Go Ape.
Go Ape is the leading outdoor forest adventure experience, offering the chance to explore the forest from high above the ground by flying down zip wires, leaping off Tarzan swings and navigating obstacles, crossings and rope bridges.
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. The recently launched dual site has doubled both the size and level of adventure with the addition of two giant Tarzan swings, two high speed cross-valley zip lines and a challenging skateboard zip wire.
Steven McGirr, Site Manager at Go Ape Aberfoyle, said: “Autumn is a great time to enliven your senses in the forest. From the crunching of leaves underfoot to the kaleidoscope of colour as you swing through the trees, there is nothing quite like experiencing the magic of this time of year from high above the tree tops.”
To help celebrate autumn in the forest, Go Ape is encouraging explorers to showcase any photos from their adventures using the hashtag #autumnatgoape.
Go Ape prices range from £33 for a gorilla (aged 16 and over) to £25 for a baboon (aged 10 to 15). For further information and to book a Go Ape adventure, please visit www.goape.co.uk
