Caving takes place in our own purpose built network of tunnels and chambers beneath the centre itself. The caving experience allows individuals to conquer their fears and take part in a physically challenging activity.
Climbing takes place in our own specifically built climbing facility within the centre grounds. This facility contains a 60ft multi pitch climbing wall with 5 independent 'top rope' lines with varying degrees of difficulty to allow full inclusion for all all client users. There is also a bolted line to allow lead climbing and access to the belay ledge for those who excel. The climbing facility also contains a large bouldering wall with cave feature. This area has multiple uses, it allows the more nervous client the chance to experience climbing without the fear factor of height and also provides an area for developing climbing technique and strength before putting it to test on the main wall!
The centre has a wealth of resources at its disposal to provide a development training task for any group or ability range. These tasks can range from icebreakers and fun activities to day long multi stage team development exercises. Any of these activities are guaranteed to promote team work and initiative within the group.
Situated within the centre grounds is the high ropes course. This freestanding rectangular course provides five differing individual and team elements as well as two low elements. The elements have been specifically designed to provide a progressive session allowing all participants to develop and achieve their goals. The team based elements require the clients to work together to achieve, developing skills such as trust and communication. The individual elements again provide a challenge this time more a test of self confidence and belief.
