Rock Climbing/Abseiling
We can offer basic taster sessions for full or half days at local venues ideal for this such as amazing Limestone quarries or Sandstone outcrops. Alternatively if people have done this and want to learn more we can offer more in depth instruction at the same venues or further afield such as the Beautiful Gower Peninsular.

Canoeing
Canoe trips are in the larger Canadian style open deck boats and can be based on the local river Wye for short journeys or on local canals for skills coaching or if river levels are too high.

Mountain Walking
The Brecon Beacons National Park and the Black Mountains contain some of the best walking routes in the UK as frequently confirmed by magazines such as Trail and TGO. Walks vary from big days out such as the Pen Y Fan circuit to shorter walks on smaller peaks or valley based around hidden waterfall gems of the area.

UK based Expeditions
Backpacking expeditions from two to multi day trips can be arranged in South Wales or further afield and can include training in planning and organisation or can be simply arranged and lead by us. Duke of Edinburgh expeditions can be arranged and all staff here have experience of working with D of E students.

Caving
South Wales is one of the countries major caving regions and contains some of the largest and most beautiful caves. Caving trips can be aimed at novices or experienced cavers. Novice trips will start with nice large easy passages and may increase in difficulty depending on how clients cope. There will never be any section to get stuck in and there is always a way around the small sections. Have a go at the classic ‘letterbox’ squeeze, the corkscrew, the wormhole, then a trip down the slightly damp ‘washing machine’.

Gorge Scrambling
The South Wales gorges are wide and varying, scramble up waterfalls with towering limestone cliffs on both sides, traverse across and jump off 25ft waterfalls in the remote Mellte gorge or abseil down multiple waterfalls in South Wales own Canyon. Ghyll scrambling in the Lake District or Yorkshire can also be offered as part of a package of activities elsewhere.

Orienteering
There are many permanent courses in South Wales which cover mountainous areas and forests. Instruction and progression can build people up to competing or simply some fun courses can be set up. Temporary courses can be set up anywhere to meet all requirements.

Raft Building
Raft building can be an ideal half day activity to link in with others to get a group of people working together as a team. It will be based on short sections of water and the team simply will be provided with equipment and asked to build a raft. Complexity can vary depending on the groups needs as to what equipment is provided or how they gain it and also if the raft has to get somewhere to complete the challenge. This could include a short river journey.

Team Building
Team building events can be arranged for companies or smaller organisations and can be simple thought provoking tasks that can increase in difficulty to cover all aspects of working efficiently as a team to large events linking problem solving tasks that if completed give directions to the next venue such as an abseil, which would then lead to a cave to find a clue for the next venue etc.

Canyoning
This can be linked in with a trip to the Vercours region of France which has some of the most awesome canyons in the world. These are committing descents down narrow canyon slots following the water, either jumping off the drops or abseiling down the falls.
