The UK Ironman event will be taking place in the Rivington area on Sunday 1st August. There will be road closures and diversions in place and customers are advised to leave plenty of time to get to site for your session time. Check local press for details.

Due to there being very limited parking at site it advisable to leave plenty of time to find a space and use the toilets which are located at the top end of the car park next to the visitors centre prior to arriving at the Go Ape cabin.

Please note that during busy times it may take up to 4 hours to complete the course.

We came as a family of 2 adults and 2 teenage boys. I was a bit apprehensive! I was so glad we all took part as it was a truly memorable experience. We feel we could do anything now!! Great fun and the advisor was very professional and helpful making us all feel safe. Would definitely recommend to all our friends.
