Live up in the
trees
It's a wierd experience, but it is possible at Olhain Park
to live like Tarzan, high up in the branches of the
forest....
Your feet don't touch the ground for
hours, but it's perfectly safe. You swing fom the trees in
secure rope harnesses, travelling from tree to tree - even
eating picnic meals high up above ground.
Be an
arbronaut
You can be an “arbronaut” for a couple of hours,
or for a short 2-day break. The leaders use adapted
mountaineering techniques to make it safe, whilst feeling
adventurous. Your life in the trees is in the beautiful
setting of the Olhain Park forest near Béthune - more
sites are planned, including one in Guînes forest in
the Boulonnais
Nature Park.
