Social Tree Climbers

This was a fantastic experience. We were a little apprehensive to begin with but Syd put us at our ease. You just go at your own pace and do as much or as little as you want with Syd showing you the ropes as it were. He is very enthusiastic and very kindly set up a pod for us as well. There was just the 2 of us and we had a morning with Syd. I even had a little lie down at the top of the tree in a hammock in the canopy. Would definitely recommend for a different experience.

What a brilliant experience!! Syd was an excellent instructor and made hanging out in the trees very enjoyable. I will be back soon for more tree climbing fun!!

Went along for a session with a group of ladies, some more apprehensive than others. Syd and his team were so patient with us and he found solutions to get us all up off the ground. No expectations to do it all but support for this who needed it. Would definitely recommend for nervous and confident climbers. In fact my daughter is now asking when she can have a go!

I first saw Syd and his team at Cranleigh wood fair. They had a long queue of people waiting to climb the trees there. I didn't get to say hello then so I got in touch via email afterwards. After a short back and forth and chat it became very obvious that Syd is an amazing chap, full of passion for what he does and belief that what he is facilitating people to do is of huge benefit. We decided to get him down to our trees in our small woodland and invite some friends for a climb. First up were a brother and sister combo. Brother (6) climbed up on his own steam but sister (4) was a little small for that and so was harnessed in and then winched up by Syd. Initially she didn't want to do it, but when she was able to get higher than her brother without any effort it wasn't long before she was screaming 'I want to go higher!'. She ended up about 3 foot off the highest anchor point around 20m up; one of the highest of the day! Next up was a very lovely lady in her 60s who wasn't sure about going up either. But under Syd's expert instruction and care she was soon climbing up to an impressive height, surprising us onlookers and herself. Really lovely to see. Others, including me, went up and all enjoyed spending time with the trees. There really is something quite special about just hanging out in the canopy. Sharing space and time with these giants of nature that are so critical to all life. Being up there you feel a connection with the tree that you don't get at ground level. Words can't express how good it is. In fact I would go so far as to say that it is important that more people are able to experience it. If more people can feel that connection with trees, that has to be a good thing for the future of people and for the future of trees.

Before we started I thought this was quite expensive but it turned out to be one of the best value activities we have ever done. We were up in the beautiful trees of Manor Farm for over 3 hours and it was amazing! Syd had everything set up prior to our arrival and, after a quick but comprehensive safety talk, a demo and an instruction, we were off! My 9 year old and 7 year old kids loved every minute and can't wait to go back to climb and swing around! I loved the feeling of privilege and wonder being high up in the canopy of these magnificent trees.... and then tearing down on the zip line afterwards! Syd's meticulous safety standards, huge knowledge, great way with the kids, amazing stories and an all-round lovely guy, plus the fact that this is an incredible activity for the mind, body and soul, means that we can't wait for the next time! Oh and it's soooooooo much fun too! :)
