点评:I booked the half day Escape and Evade.
Initially I was a little disappointed as I thought the whole day was going to be doing exactly that. However the half day is about preparing how to do that.
My disappointment was quickly flipped round into pure enjoyment.
Firstly I would like to thank Lee and Becca for being great hosts and facilitating an incredible day, these guys are running an absolutely fantastic business that deserves its #1 rating in the area.
We started with a small hike to a location that allowed us to do abseiling, Lee gave us instruction initially how to get down safely and then a second opportunity to get down safely and quickly. (Even if Lee did leave me hanging for a bit - as seen in the pictures)
We then went to a nearby location where we blew up an inflatable boat and used it to carry our gear whilst we swam across a river (nice and cold) this was followed by another hike up
To a big cave where Lee taught us to light fire in the wild and gave us tips on how to get the best results.
Finally we had a choice of doing a small escape and evade (This is usually done in the dark) or a bit of canyoning, whilst I wanted to do the escape and evade we decided on the canyoning as we thought it would be the better experience in the light.
The canyoning was great fun although walking up a hill in a wetsuit was difficult 😂
Overall we had a terrific day, everyone enjoyed it. If you do this, just commit to it, some of the activities may put you out of your comfort zone but they are designed to.
I will be booking the full escape and evade in early 2026, and I’m sure I will book activities every time I head up to the lakes.
Thank you for such an amazing day
See you soon
Chris
翻译:我预订了半天的“逃离与躲避”活动。
起初我有点失望,因为我以为一整天都会做这些事。然而,这半天的行程就是为了准备如何去做。
我的失望很快就被纯粹的享受所抵消。
首先,我要感谢Lee和Becca,感谢他们热情的接待,为我带来了如此美好的一天。他们经营着一家非常棒的公司,理应获得该地区排名第一的评价。
我们先徒步一小段,到达一个可以进行绳降的地方,Lee首先指导我们如何安全下降,然后又指导我们如何安全快速地下降。 (尽管Lee确实让我等了一会儿——如图所示)
然后我们去了附近的一个地方,在那里我们给一艘充气船充气,用它载着装备,游过一条河(天气凉爽宜人),之后我们又徒步上山。
我们去了一个大洞穴,Lee在那里教我们如何在野外生火,并给了我们一些技巧,教我们如何获得最佳效果。
最后,我们有两个选择:一个是进行小型逃生和躲避(这通常在黑暗中进行)或者进行峡谷漂流。虽然我想进行逃生和躲避,但我们最终选择了峡谷漂流,因为我们认为在光线充足的情况下体验会更好。
峡谷漂流非常有趣,尽管穿着潜水服爬山有点困难😂
总的来说,我们度过了美好的一天,每个人都很享受。如果你要参加,就坚持下去,有些活动可能会让你感到不适,但它们的设计初衷就是为了这个。
我会在2026年初预订完整的“逃离”和“躲避”之旅,而且我每次去湖区肯定都会预订各种活动。
谢谢你,让我度过了如此美好的一天。
再见!
