High Ropes Course |

 Newly
installed for 2007, we are very proud to now offer a fantastic High
Ropes Course for our visitors to use. Whereas the experience is as
exciting to use as the nearby "Go Ape" facility, we have tried to
make this more accessible and safer to use for the sorts of Groups
who visit us at Great Tower.The Course consists of 14 elements, each of which may be booked separately on an hourly basis. The current cost is the same as many other of our facilities at £17 per hour. Qualifications - Each element needs someone to lead the group on the activity and that person requires two sets of skills (A and B below) for us to allow them to operate the element with a group
Once a person has shown their evidence for (A) and undertaken the familiarisation session (B), we will record their details in our on-site log and from then on, they will be able to book and hire the appropriate elements to use with their own Groups. Alternately, if you do not have access to a Leader with the skills in part A, we will be able to provide an instructor (Given sufficient notice) to lead the sessions for you although this obviously attracts an additional cost. If we have an instructor already on-site, we could charge this out at £20 per hour although it is more likely that we would be buying in someone for a half-day minimum which would then be somewhere between £45 and £60 depending upon availability. Timescales - Generally speaking, it is possible to get 12 people undertaking each element at once, usually 4 climbing and the other 8 belaying and an hour is sufficient time to swap around so everyone has a good turn. However, please remember that some time is also required to set up and to dismantle each element which would impinge upon the time if there was only one hour booked. It also takes time for the young people to get kitted out with harnesses and helmets so running a half day session on this activity proves to be better value that say running one hour per day over 3 days.
