OUTDOOR activity centres across the country are launching Sundown Sessions to experience the forest at a picturesque time of day. 

22 Go Ape sites across the country, one of which includes Go Ape Grizedale Forest in Ambleside, are launching their  adventure beneath a sunset and a canopy of colourful leaves up until December 30. 

With more than 8 experiences available, there’s something for everyone, from  tiny tots to ape sized daredevils.

Go Ape Aberfoyle site manager, Pete Cox, said: “Sundown Sessions are a unique way of experiencing the forest at a special time of day. As the sun sets and most people turn in for the night, the forest comes alive.

"Even if you’re a Go Ape pro, it feels different and exciting as you wind your way through the fairy lit courses with only a head torch and the setting sun to guide your way," he said. 

Some activities on offer include treetop challenges courses alongside exhilarating ziplines.
