Genryukan Aikido

Go Ape

On the 27th May, Genryukan members went … bananas at Go Ape at Leeds Castle.

The weather was excellent making climbing trees, crossing rope bridges, swinging into cargo nets, whizzing down zip wires were so much more enjoyable.

A big thank you to Yvette for organising this great day out.
