The last two days have seen over 100 students from Harper Adams University College come through the gates at the Adventure Rope Course.

It was a busy day at the Adventure Rope Course with just short of 90 pupils from St George’s Junior School and over a dozen staff and parents lending a hand. The kids were split into 8 groups, with a couple of adults in each, for the course of the day. The 8 instructors stayed [...]

This morning saw me arriving at the Adventure Rope Course at 7.30am to set up for a visit from a regional sales team from Wrigleys. They’d booked themselves into the Albrighton Hall Hotel to enjoy some time together and take a bit of time out from selling chewing gum! Although the four hour session had [...]

It always seems that someone you know has either just had, or is about to have, a birthday. Today is the turn of my daughter, Emily, as she turns 14. Having enjoyed a nights camping with some friends last night, during which they cooked potatoes on a fire, we headed down to the Adventure Rope [...]
