FT Go Ape! - Booked - 30th November.

Postby Tweek on Tue Oct 14, 2008 7:21 pm

Right then, I've had an idea for a pre-winter day out In the last weekend of November - Sunday 30th? Where if it rains it'll actually become more fun. One last hurrah before winter sets in.

If you've never heard of Go Ape, it's a tree-top adventure assault course. There are several locations around the country but finding one central to everyone will be tricky. The best I've found so far is Wendover Woods, Aylesbury, Bucks. Approximately 2 hours from Yorkshire, Kent. It is location number 9 on their map, postcode HP22 5NF

£25 per participant, free for spectators, £3 for car parking.

This has now been booked for Sunday 30th November but the only slot left was 9:00am! I'd like everyone to be there by 8:30am so nobody's late. If you arrive after 9am you won't be allowed in.

Once again the address is Upper Icknield Way, Aston Clinton, Aylesbury, Bucks, HP22 5NF. Be careful with SatNav's though as this is a rural area so may be slightly inaccurate. Map and directions via this link:

Car parking is £3 on the day.

Been to the Leeds Castle one, and it's pretty good fun.

Don't know if i can afford to travel that far though. I'm presuming it's number 9 on the Go Ape map?

Re: FT Go Ape! - Booking for those attending....

Postby Tweek on Sun Oct 26, 2008 11:39 pm

Right then, as stated in the top post, this will need booking in advance. I'd prefer to get the 12pm slot so when we've finished we can have a winding down session before it gets dark.

It's £25 per participant, free for spectators, £3 for car parking.

I've not yet set a deadline for payments, depends how long some of you take :P There are a few members from FiestaGuides.co.uk joining us which will help boost the numbers. Maximum number of people per group is 14, if we go over this then we'll have to split into 2 groups.

Now only 3 slots left, 9am, 9:30 and 10am. Will be cutting off payments early next week because it's unfair on the rest if all the slots get taken!

All 13 on the list now paid, just waiting for it to clear into my account. As most/all of you know, if all the slots are taken by this time the date will be rearranged to December 14th.
