TreeTopTrek Windermere Review

 Hi Everyone,

We had a fantastic day at Treetoptrek in Windermere yesterday (https://www.treetoptrek.co.uk/windermere). We decided to go here as earlier this year we had a great time at the Treetopnets in Lightwater Valley, where we experienced not only 1st class customer service but fantastic facilities as well. 

Yesterday's trip just reinforced how great this organisation is! We witnessed first hand the employees talk a neverous customer through the course allowing them to still enjoy the fantastic equipment.

The course is split into 2 sections, Minitrek and Full trek both of which culminate in the HUGE zip line. The mini trek is signposted as 1-2 hours but we completed it within an hour after overcoming rope bridges, small leap of faith, wobbly bridges, a tightrope and a small zip line to name a few.

The full trek which is advertised as 2-3 hours includes the mini-trek as well as the higher course which has more zip lines, cargo nets, skateboard bridges, obstacle bridges and many more. 

Whatever course you decide to do, you can opt to go for the HUGE zip line from the top of the tower to the edge of the lake which is over 250 meters long! A little nervous to go it alone? Not to worry as this zip line has 3 lanes meaning 3 people can all go together.

This course in itself is enough of a reason to have a trip to the wonderful Lake Windermere but when you add in the TreeTopNets (see our previous review of this feature from an alternative site here https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=892068797879149&id=674273372992027), huge play park, mini golf, archery, laser clay pigeon shooting and motor boat hire (and that's just scratching the service) it makes this whole area a must do. 

You can easily spend the whole day here as they have an onsite café, fresh BBQ food and ice-cream kiosk, which serves Gluten-free ice-cream...bonus points from us for that. Don't fancy any of that, not to worry there are plenty of picnic tables to use or have a wander by the lake and pick a scenic spot to enjoy your dinner. 

There's plenty of parking onsite which is chargeable but all the ticket machines are equipped with card readers to save you hunting down some loose change. 

Hygiene was a big factor (as with every business at the moment). Everyone had to wash and sanitise their hands before entry, each harness was sanitised after every usage, toilets were regularly cleaned and there were multiple hand sanitisers through the area. On the Treetops, there were limited numbers permitted (pre-booking is required) and groups were kept separate. This had the added benefit of making it feel like you had the course to yourself. 

Overall we could not fault TreeTopTrek, their staff or the Brockhole facilities. In fact we would go as far as saying this is one of the best high rope courses we have ever been on! Want to see for yourself? Check the video below!
