Full Week

Home» Useful Info » Full Week

5 Day or Full week courses usually start at 10:30 on Monday (with your group being picked up at 9am), and finish around 2pm on Friday.

Our programme needs to be flexible to both suit the aims and needs of your group as well as take advantage of the weather during your course.  A classic programme may include a local adventurous walk on the first day followed by opportunities to Canoe, Climb, Gorge and Explore a Mine. Depending on the time of year there may also be the opportunity to Sea Level Traverse, or Mountain Walk. Groups may also choose to have a number of on-site  activities during some of  the evenings, (normally Monday and Thursday), and Friday morning, at no additional cost. On-site activities may include Problem Solving, Orienteering and the infamous Dingle.

In order to make your course run smoothly we require some information from you. Below are all the forms you will need to complete before arrival at the Centre.
