Tree Climbing Adventure

We're very excited to be working in partnership with 'Discover Tree Climbing' and offer an incredible experience of tree climbing using ropes. You will be climbing an incredible 300 year oak within the beautiful Damwood Scarisbrick.

​

For ages 5 years and upwards, adults and children can experience a unique activity within the canopy of our beautiful Oak.  Tree climbing allows children to develop physical and mental skills, gain in confidence, develop their team building skills, all at the same time as having fun. 

​

Neil and Terry run 'Discover Tree Climbing', Neil has 25 years’ experience as a teacher, he has been running outdoor and environmental education events with the Wildlife Trust since 2010 https://www.wildlifetrusts.org and loves climbing trees in his spare time. He has climbed a giant red wood in California with Tree Climbing Planet. He lives with his 5  daughters, so the peace and quiet found in the canopy is a life-saver.

Co-director Terry has been working as an arborist since 2002 and has a passion for all things tree. His office space is the tree-tops of North West England and he would like nothing more than for you to share the experience of looking at the World from the crown of a tree. Terry has 4 children, and loves exploring the UK with his family.

​

What can you Expect?

On the day of the event, a new risk assessment will be carried out.  The climbing systems will be rigged and climbing equipment readied for the first climbers. The session will last 45 minutes and you will have approximately 40 minutes climbing time.

​

The technique

The Double Rope Technique is a safe method used by arborists and tree climbers the world over. Climbers wear a harness and are attached to a climbing line which is secured to a strong branch. Using a system of friction knots, the climber uses the power in their legs to propel themselves up the rope, and into the tree.

Costs

The experience will cost £20 for adults and £18 for children.
