Activity Session - Power Fan

Looking from below the climbing wall can be seen from a far, the hilltop sky scraper reaching 40ft feet high with 2 sides to climb, an abseiling platform and the military style power fan can give some amazing sights at the top of the tower. 
Our power fan is situated at the top of the climbing wall and is located near to our Woodland Lodges.

Experience an adrenaline rush surges the body as you step closer to the edge of the platform about to make your descent down to the ground. The Power Fan enables you to feel a free fall experience with a sound landing with speed determined by your weight.
Power fan also known as the fan descender has no motor of any description. It works by dissipating the energy created by a falling person by the means of the fan. 


Our power fan is 100% environmentally friendly. 


A bit more of the power fan…... 


The power fan was originally used by the military to simulate parachute landings for training proposes. This activity gives the feel of free falling without needing a parachute or being attached to a bungee jump rope. 


All participants in the group will feel energized by this exciting activity from taking part to watching others in your group.
