Go Ape Trent Park

I’ve always been absolutely terrified of heights. As a little girl, when my dad told me we would be moving to New York City, and living on the 22^nd floor, I was far from excited — in fact, I was horrified.
But for some reason, when I was invited to go out for a day at Go Ape, the fact that I would be jumping out of trees didn’t phase me — until the morning of!
I’m so glad that I went along, felt the fear, and did it anyway — it was so thrilling!
Go Ape is at Trent Park, a minutes’ walk from Cockfosters which is the last stop on the Piccadilly Line.
The whole event took around 3 hours, which included six courses of climbing trees, ziplines, and tarzan swings. I think we were fairly unlucky in that as a group, we were stuck behind a few people who were a bit hesitant/​scared, which made it a little bit longer than it should have!
After the first course (where I required a lot of coaching and support from Jess, from Look What I Got) the adrenaline was really pumping — and although I would get a little jittery at the top of each course, I was so proud of myself at the end for completing it all!
I had a really incredible time, and would recommend Go Ape as a great team outdoors activity.
