Q. What happens if I fall?
A. Your harness will hold you and you can continue the course.
Q. What do I wear?
A. Outdoor clothing that is appropriate for the weather conditions and that you do not mind getting slightly dirty or damaged. Training shoes or walking boots are ideal. Jewellery should be removed.
Q. Can I get off if I do not like it?
A. After the first 8 elements, which are relatively low to the ground (up to 5 metres), there is the opportunity to exit the course. Whilst instructors are trained to assist and if necessary rescue people if they get into difficulty at any point on the course, we encourage Adventurers to keep going to the end where possible. A refund is not given for those who do not finish the course.
