You should wear sensible clothes that you don’t mind getting muddy. The course is outdoors, so you should prepare for changeable and wet weather. If it does rain then it can add to the fun as long as you’re wearing suitable clothing. Your footwear must be sturdy and suitable for the outdoors. No sandals, slip-on shoes, open toes or heels. Gloves are also a good idea.

This stunning location has loads to offer for both the thrill seekers and the ‘need to get the family out and about seekers’.
