TWO outdoor activity companies, Log Heights and Live For Today Adventures, have teamed up to expand the range of outdoor experiences available through on the Ripley Castle estate.

Log Heights has been based at Ripley Castle near Harrogate for more than 15 years and specialises in team development and high ropes activities.

Owner James Gaston said: "Many visitors return and we have seen a rise in demand for additional activities. We wanted to expand the range of activities available and work with another local business who have the same drive and enthusiasm, and like me, want to create lasting memories for everyone that visits.

"We thought Live For Today Adventures would be perfect partners as they already offer a variety of quality outdoor activities."

Dan Miller, a company partner at Live for Today, based as Hazlewood Castle, said: "Working with Log Heights is a fantastic opportunity, we established Live for Today in 2012, and have grown from strength to strength. We now hope to bring the same high quality activities to the stunning grounds of Ripley Castle."
