Our Youth Council have spoken! Our next youth club event will be at Foxlake; the Foxfall adventure course!
FoxFall is a unique low ropes course challenge over water. Unlike any other ropes course challenge in the UK, there’s no safety harness, just the water looming below!
Navigate your way across the giant Spider’s Web, hit the Climbing Wall, cross the Burma Bridge, tackle the Flying Wake boards or balance on our Sliding Fenders and finish with a huge splash on the double zip line into the water!
Safety equipment & wetsuit included. Please bring your own closed-toed shoes which you don’t mind getting wet!!
Everyone must be able to swim 25 metres unaided in order to take part. Please be aware there is a minimum height of 1.2m and a maximum weight of 120kg for safety. Remember to eat lunch before you arrive (no food for half an hour before swimming!).
Spaces are limited so please fill in the application to request a spot on this activity.
Please Bring:
– Swimwear
– Towel
– Trainers or wetsuit shoes (must have a rubber sole)
– Padlock for locker
– Snacks for the bus afterwards
