| - The Living Social notification made me go "Ooh! Trapezing! What fun!" My friend's birthday was approaching so I got her a voucher too!
My first call to book went to voicemail, but I left a message and they got back to me within an hour. It was not easy to find a time both of us could do (they get pretty booked up!), but we got a date worked out eventually. I think the one-star review is unfair as it really wasn't that hard to arrange.
I turned up, and thought "Hmm. It's a trapeze contraption in someone's back yard! What have I done?" This was a completely unwarranted value judgement on my part. Terry and her husband are very professional as well as very personable. We had a beautiful day for it...bright blue sky with wispy high clouds, not too warm or cold. My friend, who has a strong fear of heights (I got the present thinking she could safely confront that fear whilst having fun), cried on the platform (again I thought, "What have I done?!"), but Terry patiently and kindly talked her through it while reassuringly holding on to her, and she was ALL smiles as soon as she was flying.
It was mildly scary for me, too (it's higher than it looks from the ground!), but that's all part of the fun! We both want to go back! I have a newfound respect for trapeze artists. I always loved watching them and knew they skillfully did something pretty and graceful, but I now have an inkling of how athletic they are and about how much hard work they have to do just to get the basics.
Having never trapezed before, I have nothing to compare the experience to, but the monster fun warrants the "Yay! I'm a fan!" rating. Give it a go!
