Super leuke tour, je begon rustig met aantal kleine sprongen en naar mate je verder kwam grotere sprongen tot wel 7 meter. “Glijbanen” waren ook erg leuk, als je iets niet wilde doen kan je er altijd om heen. Zeker een aanrader!!Posted on Google Charlotte LenouvelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super après midi !
