What an incredible day

What an incredible day! Our party of 10 visited Go Ape on Sunday, a mix of seasoned zip-liners and nervous first-time fliers, and Vic and Ronan made it an experience we’ll never forget. Their perfect balance of fun banter and rock-solid professionalism put everyone at ease, from the teenagers to the almost-pensioners!

They were brilliant at encouraging the nervous ones while keeping the thrill alive for the confident climbers. Safety was always front and centre, but never in a way that killed the fun. We left with huge smiles, plenty of laughs, and memories that will last a lifetime.

If you’re thinking about Go Ape—ask for Vic and Ronan. They’re absolute legends! 🌳💚💪

The Grizedale Sundown Go Ape experience…

The Grizedale Sundown Go Ape experience was amazing. Great staff, great course and it was fantastic the way it was lit up in the dark. My 10 year old daughter loved it and we would highly recommend the experience. It is great for all ages of the family. And again a great thanks to the Grizedale Go ape staff who were absolutely amazing, super helpful, friendly and lots of fun.

Went to Grizedale yesterday on the 1pm slot to celebrate my sister’s birthday with my other half. The instructor was amazing, she went through everything in thorough detail and I felt safe with her help despite my anxiety (even though I’ve done this a couple of times before) I really enjoyed the event however half way around another advisor came around and pulled me on my hair not being tied back, bare in mind my hair just reaches my shoulders and was half up in 2 pig tales, he made me pull my hair down and put it back up in a pony tail which was at the same height that my pig tails were, it didn’t make sense and not only did that happen, he asked who our instructor was and said he was going to report her to management. I said to him “that’s a bit harsh, I don’t want you to grass on her” I understand that he was looking out for health and safety however for him to tell me that he was going to management because I wasn’t pulled on my hair sooner it made me feel awful because the lady was lovely and very informative- there are other ways to manage situations like this without having to brown nose your colleagues. We thought it was a bit extreme. Also the same man was watching my partner on the ladder and noticed that he had missed the green clip as he stepped on to the first step on the ladder and he came over and started asking about our instructor again and said he was going to report it to management again, I didn’t think this was necessary as it was my partners fault that he forgot the green clip because as I said before she was very informative and these were genuine mistakes. I think if you are going to raise a grievance against one of your colleagues, do it discreetly rather than telling us. I appreciate that you have a responsibility to keep us safe however I don’t think our instructor deserved to be reported to management for what was essentially our fault. Probably wouldn’t come to Grizedale again however Buxton is on our list to visit for a second time 🙂

Thanks for hanging around with us at Grizedale Forest Sara and for taking the time to share your experience. We really do appreciate it.

At Go Ape, we expect our instructors to be friendly, kind and courteous at all times. To both our customers and other team members. We're disappointed to hear of your encounter and can only apologise. As you note, conversations like this shouldn't be customer facing and this will be addressed with the staff member involved. It's not professional, which is something we pride ourselves on.

Hopefully we'll see you at Buxton soon.
