A CHESHIRE leisure resort that has had to contend with multiple obstacles caused by Covid lockdowns has created a spectacular one of its own for families to enjoy.
The Carden Park Hotel has continued to invest in its facilities despite the ongoing pandemic and has created a brand new aerial obstacle course for its hotel guests and day-visitors to enjoy.
The new Aerial Trek, Vertigo at Carden high ropes adventure course will be available for people to enjoy from May 17.
The £350,000 standalone structure has been created and designed by JM Adventure, known for their bespoke designs and impeccable safety, the team is responsible for several successful projects across the UK.
Vertigo at Carden, located at the 1,000-acre leisure resort off Broxton Road, near the A41, offers two levels of white-knuckle adventure for all abilities.
Both courses take guests on a two-hour experience, with the promise of 10 mid-air obstacles for every guest to conquer.
The longer and more difficult course high up on level two ends at the top of a 10-metre tower, where true bravery is tested as guests launch themselves onto a giant stunt pillow. There’s also the option to return to ground level via an exhilarating dual 210m zip line.
For those looking for a more traditional course, rock climbing is also available in half-hour slots, and those bold enough to scale to the top are sure to forget their fears as they are rewarded with never-before-seen views over the Carden Park Estate across the on-site Vineyard, luxury Spa Garden and Golf courses.
A session at the Vertigo at Carden high ropes course includes a 30-minute safety briefing which includes guests being kitted up by trained professionals before entering the course.
Fully qualified instructors are also on hand at all times and a hot or soft drink is included in the package.
Guests must be aged six or over and height and weight restrictions apply.
Team building options will also be available for companies looking to bring staff together for a memorable experience after months spent working from home.
Director and general manager, Hamish Ferguson said: “We’ve worked hard throughout lockdown to invest in our facilities to ensure even our most loyal visitors have something completely new to come back to.
"Vertigo at Carden is perfect for our adventurous guests and the high ropes course adds a whole new experience to our already world-class leisure offering.”
James Mittins is the Managing Director of JM Adventure, who has over 20 years of ropes course building experience and has been working on site to build the course at Carden Park.
He added: "This course is the first of its kind that we have built in Cheshire and has been specifically designed to meet the needs of Carden Park, with a range of different activities built into it.
"It has two levels of high ropes trekking, climbing and team building activities. The real showstopper for us is the airbag jump, it’s a massive thrill and a real rush.”
Prices for Vertigo start at £40 per person for adults and £30 per person for children. Gift vouchers are available to purchase now at https://cardenpark.wearegifted.co.uk/vertigo-aerial-trek-adult
