We had the BEST time at Foxlake Adventures yesterday! The team are amazing and the activities are brilliant fun. We've wanted to try it for ages but the being cold and wet element has always stood in my way! But GOOD NEWS - the wetsuits are incredible! I spent slightly more time than my daughter in the water as one of us was much better than the other at wakeboarding 😂 So glad I finally visited and can't wait to return!
