GoodLeaf Tree Climbing Adventures

We meet you at our tree climbing field which is located at a secret rural location on the Isle of Wight. We start with a full health & safety briefing and risk assessment. Once the paperwork is done, you are fitted with a comfy harness and a hard hat.  After some knot tying practice, we talk you through what will happen and you are clipped into your rope which is already securely fastened to the tree.  After a demonstration & practice, it's your turn to begin your ascent; closely supervised and instructed throughout.  Once you have climbed as high as you want to go, you can hang out in the canopy, maybe resting awhile in the tree hammock before abseiling to the ground through the branches.  Back on the ground, the picnic blanket awaits you with homemade refreshments & a cup of tea to celebrate your achievement and replace all the energy you have burnt off. If you're still feeling adventurous, there's plenty of time for branch walking & hanging upside down...25ft above the ground!  Activities for Groups If you're looking for an outdoor activity for your group, our tree climbing provides fun outdoor adventure actvities for small or large groups. We can accommodate hen & stag groups, corporate groups, work away days, family groups and all youth groups including scouts, guides & other youth groups. We provide custom packages for larger groups so please contact us with your group's needs & we can tailor a plan for you. Read about a hen night climb. Our Staff Goodleaf Tree Climbing was set up by New Zealander Paul McCathie in 2005. Paul has been climbing trees professionally for over 10 years as a qualified arborist and has worked in New Zealand, Australia & the UK. Wanting to encourage everyone to enjoy recreational tree climbing, Paul trained as a facilitator with Genevieve Summers at Dancing With Trees, Georgia USA on the Tree Climbers International  Facilitator course. Passionate about trees and the role they play in our environment, the real reason Paul set up Goodleaf was to provide himself with the perfect excuse to hang out in the canopy as much as possible!
