Climbing with Abseiling

A visit to either a local crag or Keswick Climbing Wall where you will be introduced to basic skills enabling you to reach the top of climbs which become increasingly harder as you gain in experience and confidence. Then, once at the top, you will abseil down, ready to start again.

Ghyll Scrambling

Once you have all your kit on, an Instructor will walk you to the head of a mountain stream and then lead you on a wet decent of the ghyll; leaping off waterfalls, sliding down through plunge pools and generally getting very wet!! Suitable for non swimmers as long as they are confident in the water.

Canoeing, Kayaking and Paddleboarding

After some instruction on basic paddle strokes and safety, you will head out to explore Derwentwater, maybe visiting an island or two.

Archery

After a safety briefing and some instruction on basic skills, you will soon be going for gold in this most ancient of sports. An ideal option for the less energetic but one that is full of skill and concentration. We offer both outdoor and indoor target archery. We also offer field archery for those looking for more of a challenge - have a look at our website for more details.

Mountain Walking

A full or half day exploring the surrounding fells, led by an instructor on a route to suit your groups ability and the weather.

High Ropes Course

The Woods: A series of high level challenges set in the centre's woodlands. Go on a blindfolded Bear Hunt, scale the Lumber Ladder, solve the Monkey Puzzle, swing off the Crow's Nest, cross Causey Causeway, meet the challenge of the Stair Rod, cross the rapids on the Canyon Crossing and leap from the Major Oak's summit.

Team building and corporate events catered for.
