After the success of Escot's Tree Top Adventure in 2013 we bring you The Great Big Tree Climbing Company. Two highly skilled and friendly instructors can help all ages reach new heights in a fantastic tree in Escot's grounds. They will teach you how to enter a tree's canopy using ropes, knots and karabiners, whilst being securely attached in a harness at all times. Once at the top of the tree you will gain an experience which can't be found on the ground and if you're feeling brave take the zip wire back down! Each session contains a maximum of seven participants, creating a unique and...

Thousands tackle the muddy extremes at Escot

Almost 4,000 people took to Escot Park at the weekend to tackle hydro slides, cargo climbs and extreme amounts of mud as runners faced the challenging RockSolidRace – one of the country’s muddiest and wettest obstacle courses.

There was an electric atmosphere throughout the day with teams competing for their chosen charities and individuals chasing their Personal Best race times. Teamwork was tested to the max as men and women helped each other overcome giant obstacles along the 5 and 10k course. One of the most popular proving to be ‘the bomb’ a vertical 12ft climb followed by a...

4,000 turn up to RockSolidRace's first event

Despite the rain, the hail, the mud and more mud, 2,500 participants and 1,500 spectators turned up at RockSolidRace's inaugural event on Saturday at Escot Park.

Participants took part in either a 5k or 10k race through the Devon countryside with just a few little challenges in their way. It really wasn't a course for the faint hearted. Obstacles included scaling 8 foot walls, a hydroslide, an ice skip and many, many more.

Ashley Jardine, the event organiser, commented "it was a great event and we're thrilled at the numbers that turned up especially with the weather that we...

Calling all volunteers! RockSolid needs you

RockSolidRace is hitting Devon on Saturday 16 March and everyone is talking about it. With 2,500 taking part in the event and lots of spectators, it’s going to be a day worth being a part of.

If you’re not keen on getting muddy but want to get involved OR you have missed your chance to get a ticket and do the race, why not become a volunteer for the day? As a volunteer, you'll help us make sure that RockSolid runs like clockwork. Volunteers are an integral part of our event and without them, well, it couldn't happen! You could be doing anything from keeping the ice baths filled to...

RockSolid fever gripping the South West and beyond

With RockSolidRace’s inaugural event only two months away, obstacle racing is becoming the hot topic of conversation. The event, being held on 16th March, offers a challenge like no other seen in the South West.

We’re talking about the choice of a 5k or 10k obstacle course that includes scaling 8 ft walls, crawling through mud under barbed wire and plenty of water based obstacles - it’s certainly not a course for the faint-hearted! That, however, doesn’t seem to be putting people off as they’re signing up in their droves.

Demand for the event has already surpassed initial...
