Experience Day: Weaseling

 

Course Description: This experience is a hybrid activity linking climbing, scrambling and caving. It will involve clambering up, over and through rock boulders, but always having daylight in sight. A great family activity that can be adapted to suit the age and ability level of the group. Parents be warned, this is an activity that your children will likely excel at and walk away with bragging rights.

 

Cost: £45 Half Day
