Unit 1: Ropes and Knots
We love playing with ropes in the woods! Over the years we have increasingly brought in hammocks, nets, different types of swings, balanced on ‘slack lines’, built bridges, ladders, pulley’s and spider webs!
Please find below some key documents that will support your practice – remember to think about how you look after your equipment, follow all the important risk assessments to check your ropes are safe and the trees in good health!

With all the possible equipment you may be using with your groups, getting into good practice about putting the ropes away properly, makes a huge difference to easy storage and easy use. It can take a whole session to untangle a rope – sometimes that may be just right, but others definitely not! If the children have the ability, encourage them to put the ropes away as well!
