Go Ape! High Wire Forest Adventure Go Ape! High Wire Forest Adventure - FIVE new courses opening Spring 2008 Submitted by: Honey Public Relations Wednesday, 20 February 2008 adventure, fun, travel, fitness, health, days out, half-term, easter, summer fun, climbing, family, corporate, LIVING LIFE MORE ADVENTUROUSLY See the forest in a different light! And join a tribe of over 850,000 adventure seekers, climbing rope ladders up into the trees; experiencing the thrills of trekking from tree to tree some 40 feet above the forest floor! Established in 2002 by husband and wife team Tristram and Rebecca Mayhew, six years on, Go Ape High Wire Forest Adventure (http://www.goape.co.uk/) courses are located in forests across the UK, stretching from the south coast to Scottish Highlands. The young company is set to launch five NEW courses in March 2008, taking the total to seventeen, and has plans to open 40 courses by 2010. Great for families, hen parties and corporate groups, each of the Go Ape courses is split into 5 to 6 separate zones linked together by natural footpaths. Each section begins with a climb up a rope ladder into the treetop canopy, where you weave your way through an assortment of spectacular rope bridges and Tarzan swings. An exhilarating zip slide brings you down to the forest floor at the end of every section. Set against the stunning forest backdrop, this unique family activity provides approximately three hours of adrenalin-fuelled fun and adventure. The inspiration for creating Go Ape came from a family holiday to France when Tristram and Rebecca came across a high wire adventure course deep in the Auvergne National Forest. They watched a family swinging through the tree canopy. Sure, the teenage kids were having a grand time of it, but it was the look of ‘we haven’t had this much fun in years’ on their parents’ faces that convinced them instantly that they should be doing something like this in the UK. Winning a stream of tourism awards over the past 2 years, Tristram Mayhew, co-founder and Chief Gorilla, nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year at The National Business Awards, 2006, says. “Creating adventures and encouraging others to live life more adventurously, is the ethos behind Go Ape. It’s very much about introducing people, young and old, to the forest and giving them the opportunity to explore the forest from a different perspective”.

Any improvements will have a positive outcome for all involved. Making the CCAONB a fantastic place to visit will, increase the prosperity of the local community and place CCAONB on the map as an innovative, forward thinking, local partnership and pave the way for future developments, whilst always protecting the local environment, beautiful landscape, history and wildlife. It will provide a life-long legacy for the people of Staffordshire and beyond. The Dementia Friendly Strategy (DFS) has been developed to complement the Cannock Chase Management Plan 2014-2019 to ensure the correct balance to conserve areas and yet enhance the positive experience for people to increase their wellbeing. Working on this strategy has already increased the awareness and understanding of people living with dementia and their families. It has strengthened partnership working and increased understanding of the differing needs of those organisations involved and opened up stronger communications and cooperation to work together on joint initiatives.
