20 individual logs at varying heights to test your balancing skills

Stepping Beams. With extended verticals to weave in and out of, available as individual beams or in sets

Double Inclined Balance Beam. 3.6m long set at an angle to add that bit of extra challenge

Pole Forest. These can be installed as a ‘forest’ or in a row to add an extra option for getting from one element to the next. Available as sets of 9.

Stepping Logs. Ideal way of linking the additional elements in your adventure trail. Available as sets of 10.

Wobbly Plank. A straightforward test of balancing skill. See who can stay on the longest! 2.4m long

Drop Rope Traverse. More tricky that it looks! A real test of balance and coordination. 3.6m wide.

Stepping Beams for Nursery age children. With an additional hand rail so that even the toddlers can have a go at getting from one end to the other. Available as individual beams or sets linking to each other and additional adventure trail elements.

Swinging Tyre Traverse. A really good test of coordination and upper body strength to try and get across without stepping off. 3.6m wide.

Burma Bridge. The simplest of bridges but with the added challenge of only having a narrow length of chain to stand on it makes it quite a challenge. Length 2.4m, width 1.0m.

Swinging Log Traverse. Like the tyre traverse only with short logs to give a more rustic look.. 3.6m wide.

Net bridge. A little easier but still requiring some concentration to make sure your feet don’t slip through the holes…! Length 2.4m, width 1.0m.

Clatter bridge. The most straightforward of our bridges. Ideal for younger children but great fun for anybody and a fun addition to any adventure trail. Length 2.4m, width 1.0m

Scramble net log climbing frame. A straightforward ‘A’ frame with a scramble net on one side and a log ladder on the other. This requires safety surfacing as it’s 1.5m high but is an ideal addition to any adven- ture trail giving an extra dimension of height to the challenges.

A fantastic adventure trail making the most of the natural play opportunity through a wooded area at the back of a school in the Cotswolds. Balance beams and a ‘Nepalese ladder’ fixed to the tree stumps

Monkey bars. One of the classics and a real challenge to even the most agile of young people, great fun to have as part of an adventure trail aimed at KS2 and above. Safety surfacing is not required but recommended for those children who will insist on climbing onto the ladder or hanging by their ankles…didn’t we all!

Further use of the natural bank with a set of stepping logs and a handrail giving the children the opportunity to gain access to the wooded area without trampling on the vegetation and having bit of fun in the process.

Low level climbing wall. The climbing wall is a really popular addition to adventure trails and can be modified in numerous ways. They can be higher or wider, can have holds on one or both sides and the holds can be positioned in such a way as to prevent the children from climbing over it, just traverse around it. Safety surfacing is generally recommended.

Once the children had negotiated the stepping logs on the bank they were rewarded with a walkway along the top of the bank to a platform and an inclined climbing wall further up the slope.

Here, some stepping beams were used, without the extended vertical poles, to give an alternative to the steps. At the top of the bank, their adventure trail started in earnest…
