DD Has decided she wants a day out with a few friends for her 16th Birthday at an activity centre with Zip Wire, Rock climbing etc. Any suggestions within a couple of hours drive (80miles) maximum from Oxfordshire appreciated. 
Thanks

Go Ape sounds just about right - http://goape.co.uk/ - there's quite a few around your area, so see which one has availability on your dates etc. Looks like it's £20 per 10/17yo, £30 per adult. There are Adult:child ratios to meet.
I've not been but have heard good reports!:mad: :j:D:beer::eek::A:p:rotfl::cool::):(:T0 -

IMO Ariel Extreme (http://www.aerialextreme.co.uk/page/milton-keynes) rope courses are better than go Ape as there prices are generally cheaper, the courses are safer than Go Ape and children (under 14) only need adult supervision on site, not on the actual course.
I think Milton Keynes is the closest course to Oxford and Milton Keynes also has other activities in the area. There are water sports on offer next to the Ariel Extreme course at Willen Lake and just down the road in Milton Keynes town centre is Xscape (http://www.xscape.co.uk/milton-keynes)which offers indoor skiing/snowboarding, cimbing, indoor skydiving and lots more.
Could be an expensive day!0 -
That one is more expensive but I wouldn't need to be with them so total cost is about the same. Will run it past DD as I know at least one of her friends would jump at the chance of doing Goliath. :rotfl:IMO Ariel Extreme (http://www.aerialextreme.co.uk/page/milton-keynes) rope courses are better than go Ape as there prices are generally cheaper, the courses are safer than Go Ape and children (under 14) only need adult supervision on site, not on the actual course.
