Trying Out the Forest Segway at Go Ape

A month or so ago Matthew and his mate went on an adventure. You may remember that not long ago he went to Go Ape and had a fantastic time swinging through the trees at Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire. Whilst there he spotted something that he said looked like lots of fun and really wanted to give it a go. When we were recently contacted by Go Ape again Matthew was over the moon when he was given the chance to take on the Forest Segways as this is what he had spotted on his other trip.

The Forest Segway experience is suitable for groups of friends or even families. Everyone gets to spend an hour venturing off the beaten track and exploring the forest floor. This is a one of a kind experience that gives the riders an adventure with a down-to-earth twist on an all-terrain, self-balancing, electric Segway.  Matthew said he had a great time and it is a great way to get around the forest. 

Matthew visited Dalby Forest for his Segway experience, as that is the nearest location to us. But don’t worry if this isn’t near to you as there are nine other Go Ape Adventure locations around the UK that have the Segway Experience available.

All participants are given a full safety brief before they are allowed out on the Segways and everyone must be 10 years old or over and weigh at least seven stone (those aged 10 – 15 years old must be accompanied by an adult). The price for the Segway Experience is £40 per rider. This was the first time both Matthew and his friend had been on a Segway, both said it was pretty easy to master once they had the basics under control. They both said they would love to do it again and would be looking to incorporate Go Ape into their mates Stag Do in a couple of months.
