Scariness at GoApe in Dorset for our #GoProAdventures
Next in our series of #GoProAdventures was our trip to fling ourselves around from tree to tree at Moors Valley Park, as excited guests of the GoApe centre there.Go Ape is the UK’s No.1 forest adventure. Doing everything from the Tree Top Challenge to Forest Segways and Zip Trekking, there’s no shortage of options for an adrenaline-fuelled afternoon’s activity for the family! The bigger Tree Top Challenge is only for 10yrs...
Here it is – the GoPro Hero 3+ Review from our #GoProAdventures

Kayaking in Dorset for our #GoProAdventures
For our recent #GoProAdventures challenge we were aided and abetted by some really fabulous Outdoor Activity companies here in Dorset. Here’s the first in the series about our Dorset Adventures – River Kayaking in Wareham. Our two eldest had both tried Kayaking on a school’s activity week, but the rest of the family had never set foot in one. So it was with a nervous shiver of trepidation running under the excitement...
