What Can I Expect
Dare to go on a thrilling Bear Grylls Adventure! As the man himself says: ‘When your fears are laid bare, you have to keep your nerve and dig deep’. And that’s exactly what you’ll be doing when you launch yourself into the activities at this fantastical adventure Basecamp in Birmingham!
Costing millions to create, the Bear Grylls Adventure is totally different to any activity centre you’ll have ever seen. It takes on film-set proportions and includes everything from an indoor diving world, to Europe’s biggest high ropes adventure course. Is it extreme? Yep it can be. Will you be scared? Quite possibly, but it’s also an amazing experience and brilliant fun too.
All participants start with the Bear Grylls Adventure Basecamp session, then you branch off to take part in your chosen ‘Hero’ activity or activities, depending on your voucher choice. You’ll need to have your ‘adventure ready’ clothes on, a clear head and be raring to go for these experiences, as your guide leads your group through the tasks and challenges.
In the Basecamp you will all tackle the Breakout escape room - and this is where you’ll need to work as a team, remembering that (as Bear says) ‘survival is not about being fearless, it;s about decisions’. Then you’ll be left in the darkness of the maze to see if you can find your way out. Having survived those two challenges, it’s time for some target practice with an archery session. The Adventure Basecamp concludes with an assault course. Physically demanding to the end, you’ll be balancing, jumping, climbing and scrambling.
Having graduated from Basecamp and gained Bear’s approval, it’s time for the Hero activities. Go climbing in the style of some of the world’s biggest peaks (with some bouldering to get you warmed up). Head outside to take on 36 high ropes challenges across five levels up to 20m off the ground. Or snorkel in the underwater cage to meet the marine wildlife.
On the Ultimate Bear Grylls Adventure the adrenaline level is cranked up as you max out the activities. Experience mad iFLY indoor skydiving in the vertical wind tunnel, do the climbing, tackle those heights on the high ropes course and then spend two hours in the underwater wonderland. You'll be diving with over 1300 fish and even sharks, as you explore the shipwreck and corals.
No matter which Bear Grylls Adventure package you pick, it’s going to be one seriously adventurous day out, filled with mental and physically challenges to triumph over. Time to escape the ordinary and achieve something epic.
