There's so much to enjoy

An admission, I am absolutely terrified of heights. So finding myself 20ft up, looking out over a sheer drop and being held up by a harness and a wire, I'm not in my happy place.

The centre is just 10 minutes outside the town of Sleaford and boasts, among its many attractions, a climbing wall, big swing, a shooting range, boating lake, abseiling, trapeze and high ropes .

For me, this was launching off the zip wire and making it a relatively big distance - for me - on the climbing wall, before leaning back slowly and allowing the equipment to lower me down to the ground.
