...you guessed it, that was the theme to the Great Escape…..!!!!! That was what was going through my mind anyway when I went to visit the site of the Great Escape in West Sussex.

Der der, der der der der der, der der, der der der derrrrrr Yup you guessed it, that was the theme to the Great Escape…..!!!!! That was what was going through my mind anyway when I went to visit the site of the Great Escape in West Sussex.
~~What is it? An old movie or something?~~ Actually far from sitting on a sofa, The Great Escape is an amazing Woodland Challenge Course (huge assault course to you and me) with lots of exciting rope elements like a zip wire - where you are on a harness and whoosh down a wire rope at massive speed. This one happens to be 60m long. Burma bridge where you are high up balancing on a wire and holding on to two either side of you (wibble wobble!) and many other things including a tunnel that you and a group of people have to scramble through…well it would be rude not to being The Great Escape and all!!!!
~~Is it safe?~~ 100%, all the staff are fully trained and qualified, you are in a harness for any high ropes elements.
~~What is the location like~~ It is absolutely beautiful - but then I visited on an amazing summers day, all the main activities are situated outdoors, the assault course is based in woodland on a private estate, while there I saw deer, squirrels, a fox and little bunnies…ahhhhh. That's when I wasn't screaming my head off down the zip wire anyway!!!! If it's raining you take your waterproofs and have a thoroughly muddy time!!!! Seriously they also do management training and have an indoor barn if there is teambuilding. The Great Escape is based in West Hoathly which is close to Crawley, West Sussex. (about 15 miles from Brighton)
~~Do you need to be fit?~~ No not at all, the Manager had said to us prior to booking, "as long as you can do a mile walk or so you'll be fine" and she was right. Having given birth to Ollie 6 months ago (6 months? Where did that go?!!!!) anyway back on track, I was a little worried about this, it was fine, the only really stamina was in clambering over some of the assault course - it was not the "army style" that I imagined at all and more to do with balance.
~~What about heights?~~ I'll be honest with you, if you do not like heights, this will probably scare the living daylights out of you, the highest point I think is the top of the zip wire, although the Instructor did let one of the girls opt out of some of the high bits, but then she had to walk quite a way to get around to the next bit as one bit sort of starts where the other one finishes if you seen what I mean?!
~~All in all?~~ I had an amazing time, I did not break a nail but I did get a bit muddy. We all had a right good laugh (at ourselves and each other!) and the Instructors were brilliant. I would thoroughly recommend it for a day out. The price can vary from £30 upwards, they bespoke their courses to what you want which is refreshing. It can be a lot more expensive if you want lots of options. Generally it is for group bookings, corporate, stag, hen, birthday parties that sort of thing, although in the summer they offer ½ days where you can book for smaller numbers.
Advantages: Superb location, wonderful cottages, loads to do Disadvantages: Absolutely none!
After contemplating what to write about for my 100th opinion I decided to write about one of my favorite places, hopefully giving a totally chilled out opinion!!!
Ever wanted to escape the rat race? Ever wanted to look out of the window and see cows, fields and a great expanse of mountains? If so I think I have just the place for you. This place is called Ty Tanglwyst Farm cottages situated near Porthcawl, South Wales. I happen to stumble across them by chance when searching the web looking for somewhere to stay whilst on business in Wales. I needed somewhere to stay for a couple of weeks and the thought of staying in a hotel for that duration would have killed me! So I went on the search for a holiday cottage.
The Cottages
---------------
There are 3 cottages in all, situated on a 120 acre working dairy farm. The cottages ...
Advantages: Great Deals on 4 x 4 trips to fraser island **A Must See!!** Disadvantages: Not too much nearby - 3 nights is about right
On my recent trip to Australia we stopped off in Hervey Bay after a not so good time in Rainbow beach (2hrs south of Hervey).
We decided to stay for only two nights in the Fraser Escape hostel as we were eager to get out to fraser island.
We were picked up from the Greyhound bus by a friendly guy from the hostel who took some of us for a small tour of Hervey Bay on the way to the hostel.
After a short drive we all arrived and i was a bit dubious about the location, but it wasnt too bad actually. It took only ten minutes to walk to the beach and there was a cheap little place to eat next door.
As for the Dorm rooms im not too sure but was told they were average as everyone had came to expect from their travels. We stayed in a Double room for $50 a night between 2 so this worked out to be about £11 each night which wasnt too bad ...
Advantages: Relaxing escape, stone's throw from Panama City Disadvantages: No atmospheric beachside bar to enjoy a beer at sunset
Isla Taboga is a lovely little island just half an hour from Panama City's Harbour. It's quite small, and not touristy. Just a little town, surrounded by water with a great view of the Panama City skyline! A great place to visit for a day if you're in the City and want an easy escape. Take a book and some snacks, or grab a bite at one of the local eateries, and just enjoy the white sand beach and calm warm waters.
It's now $11 return by boat, which leaves from the Amador Causeway - pay no more than $5 by taxi from the City!
The island itself is an array of small streets and hidden paths and steps, leading up and around the packed little houses of the town. It has a small church in the middle, which is supposedly the second oldest church in the Western Hemisphere. It also has an art centre / community project in construction ...
