  • Bristol review by Andy & Sacha

    We absolutely loved the activity, it was so well done! It was the most glorious weather too, which just made it perfect! (Which I know is nothing to do with you)We missed information to complete the final challenge in a decent time, so our time & penalties are not a true reflection - though our fault for not reading the instructions properly. We can not wait to do it again but in another City.
