Rock Climbing
This activity enables your group to learn basic climbing skills, belaying etc but on the rock. We would take you to the cliffs of Symonds Yat where you will get the chance to climb whilst admiring the fantastic views and wildlife that inhabit the area around the cliffs. Climbing at Symonds Yat can be subject to the weather.
Effort: moderate-strenuous.
Abseiling
This involves a slow descent over a vertical face; we use local cliffs of varying heights up to 90ft. Our instructors will help you to become relaxed in your techniques and familiar with the equipment you will use, so that as your confidence builds you will develop more skills and have greater control over your descents. It is a real adventure! This is an activity which will leave you with a tremendous sense of achievement, however, due to access and the condition of the rock face it can be subject to the weather.
Effort: moderate
Caving
Using caves within the Symonds Yat area this can be a fascinating activity for anyone wanting to crawl through holes and venture underground! Another activity that results in an amazing sense of personal achievement, this is a great opportunity with our experienced and highly qualified instructors to learn about the geology of the caves within the Forest, and view the area from a completely different perspective! For a whole day we can take you further afield to some very dramatic caves.
Effort: moderate-strenuous
