It can be used on any activity as long as you follow the activities guideline i.e if the activity cannot be accessed by anyone under 8 years that rule needs to be followed.

I had Liam as the activity instructor today and he was amazing with being accessible and allowing me to take part in the activity. I really enjoyed spending the session shooting arrows at the target. The Liam was pleasant and knew how to get the group to engage while catering in for my needs. There was no worry or qualmsAbout me being safe as I took part in the activity.

What better way to relax than with a spot of pottery painting? Pick your own piece, paint it in your favourite design and fire it up in the kiln to make the perfect keepsake to take home and remember your holiday by.
Overview:
I love anything Crafty and with this project I had decided to try a new decoration technique that I know about in theory and I love the effect of the scratching on the project. My only regret was that I wish I had used a darker base colour but I really like my bowl.

Scale the heights of our fantastic high ropes course where you will be balancing, swinging and more all above the treetops. It is an adrenaline rush not to be missed!
Overview:
I picked this activity only expecting to do a small portion of it but for me all I wanted to do was try and enjoy the activity. I had hoped to get through about a quarter of the course but With some perseverance and I managed to complete the course completely. That said though I had planned to do the course 2-3 times and I landed up doing it once and having to take lots of breaks on the solid platforms. I found this was a slow and steady activity not a speed through job.
Activity 4 – Clip and Climb
Activity cost: £10
Activity Restrictions: Minimum hight of 1m, recommendation that all under 1.2m are accompanied by an adult. Footwear and clothing restrictions apply. Minimum age of 6+ years.
Activity Length: 30 minuets
Get ready to grip, clamber and scale you’re way to the top of the climbing wall. It’s just as safe and dignified for mum and dad as it is the kids so why not join in the adventure!?
OverView:
I never expected to get very far with this activity but I managed to get about 2 inches up and then realised that my lack of mobility and sensation due to my prosthetic means I can’t do this and be safe let alone get my self down if I get stuck.
Activity 5 – Pool Party
Activity cost: £8.50
Activity Restrictions: All under 8s must be accompanied by a responsible person, booking for accompanying adult is not required.
Activity Length: 30 minuets
OverView:
The Pool Party was not what I expected!! It was a lot more relaxed with lots of floats, some games, and music. I really enjoyed my self at this and would definitely do this again. There’s lots of swimming, chilling, and just enjoying a nice environment with some pop music.
How much do I have left to spend?
Yesterday we spent £59.50 and today’s activities would have cost me £113 for 10 activities. I’ve enjoyed so many of the activities so far. I have done a good mix of craft and sporty types of activities. I did several Activites that I knew I might not be able to succeed in but the one I did manage and surprised me was the high rope course. I never expect to complete the course but am very pleased that I managed to complete the course.
