Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes
Tricky footholds and wooden platforms get slippery; trail shoes or trainers with good tread help maintain balance.
Bring a small water bottle
There’s a tree-top bar but it’s smart to hydrate during the course; the activity is active and you’ll sweat.
Arrive 20 minutes early
You’ll need time for registration, harness fitting and the safety briefing before the course starts.
Avoid loose jewelry and scarves
Loose items can snag on equipment and are not allowed while on the course.
