Each session last for three hours and there is a range of activities to choose from. All our activities are supervised by qualified instructors and we provide all the necessary safety equipment. The sky really is the limit if you choose one of our 'high' activities but there is also plenty for those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground! For most groups we find that there is time for two different activities. Please contact us to discuss your idea so we can help you select the most appropriate activities for you group.
If you wish to go further a field we organise group climbing and coasteering days on the Dorset coast and mountaineering/climbing trips from our Mountain Lodge in North Wales
