The website implied that there would be 64 different inflatable obstacles rather than doing the same ones going around the course 4 times for the 10k

Amazing experience and a great way to try something new the only problem which I know there is no helping is the waiting time to get through the inflatables. Apart from this it was a great experience and will definitely be returning again

I enjoyed the experience and the course with my husband, but not nice for family and friends that came to support us. They want to see more or be entered while waiting for us.

I really enjoyed the experiance, going with my son, daughter, her partner and neice. Although an 'older' person it was still 'doable', there was no pressure and the staff were very encouraging. We are planning to do it again next year, my son wanting to do 10k whilst the rest of us will stick to 5k. There are friends at work who are also interested so next year there maybe a bigger party of us! If there was one drawback it was the photographers. I hate having my photo taken and that was annoying. Prehaps a notice of warning at the start of the inflatable so i/others, could choose to miss that one?

Only thing it fell down on was lack of options for food. Only cakes and sausage rolls?

There could be more cheering along the way and more water stations and bins to throw the bottles away. It was also missing a “warm up party” and cheering at the end.
