10 Ways to Get Ready For Your Gripped Visit

1.     Dress Smart

No, we don’t mean suits and ties! We mean smart as in sensible. You're not going to be able to get the most out of your day wearing stiff, tight-fitting jeans. Instead, make sure you’re decked out in comfortable activewear that'll give you all the range of movement you need to jump, climb and soar. You should also probably wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a little dirty - you'll be spending the day outside, after all!

2.     Bring your Waterproofs

We all know just how unpredictable the UK weather can be... and that means it's always wise to come prepared for surprise downpours! When it comes to waterproof clothing, simple compact macs and jackets are perfect - they won't get in the way during your activities, but they're there if you need them.

3.     Add Layers

It’s easy to take layers off if you get too warm, but impossible to put them on if you haven't brought enough - so there's never any harm in bringing a jacket, even if the weather's sunny! Arriving with a few layers ensures you can stay warm enough during your activities - and you can take them off as you start to heat up with all the heart-pumping action...

4.     Bring Sunglasses

No matter the weather, having the bright sun shining in your eyes can be a big distraction when you’re zip line trekking or concentrating on the high ropes! Save yourself from squinting - bring sunglasses if you think they'll be needed.

5.     Decide On Food

We have a great choice of food and snacks available to purchase at our site - chow down on hot dogs, chips and more. However, feel free to bring your own food to eat as and when you want to! A few snack bars might be a good idea to keep you going if you're planning on doing our high five bundle...

6.     Bring Plenty of Water

Stay hydrated throughout the day with plenty of water. If you forget to bring your own bottle, you can always buy some from the convenient nearby F&B cabin, which offers a range of food and drinks.

7.     Dress For The Weather

Take note of the weather forecast for the day and prepare accordingly. For cold winter weather be sure to dress warmly with hats, gloves and suitable outerwear like a warm fleece jacket. For summer days, make sure you wear cool, breathable and comfortable clothing.

8.     Wear The Right Footwear

Open-toed shoes are a big no-no at Gripped - they won't give you the support you need, and they might go flying off at the wrong time! Make sure you have ankle-supporting boots or sports trainers with plenty of grip to help you during your activities.

9.     Wear SPF

Save your skin! We're an outdoor attraction, and it’s always important to shield yourself and your children from UV rays - especially in summer. Wearing SPF can prevent you from getting sunburnt and protect your skin from long-term damage when spending all day outdoors.

10. Bring Change for Parking

Our car park is operated by a separate company which charges £1 per hour of your stay. Make sure you bring enough coins so you don’t have to cut your stay short!
