How We Created The Arial Trail Course
Across the country, outdoor high rope courses have become a popular activity for adults and children to exercise and socialize. One of the key attributes of a high rope course is that a person does not need to have previous climbing experience in order to be a customer.
When we first came up with the idea we looked at a children’s course with the thrill of a possible fan descender, then we thought in year two or three we can expand and introduce a large climbing wall plus a fan descender for teenagers and adults.
Originally we focused on an adult course but after measuring the woodland area we found it may not be big enough for an adult course, so we looked at a small project but with still the thrill.
To get ready make sure:
-
If anyone needs to use the toilet during the activity let an instructor know so they can remove the harness and check it is refitted correctly.
-
You are dressed ready to go (shoelaces tied, loose clothing and jewelry removed).
-
Appropriate shoes and clothing.
-
You empty your pockets.
-
Tie up long hair.
