You will find below a summary of the activities which we run from our Activity Centre in Cheddar. From our location in Somerset we have access to the beautiful countryside of the Mendip hills and in particular the natural limestone rock faces for which the area is famous. Most of the activities take place offsite and hence we have portable equipment to use for many activities to match the event. We provide all protective equipment, are fully insured, and are licensed by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority for climbing, caving and watersports. As we are based at Broadway House caravan and camping park, this enables us to offer accommodation through the site facilities (see Our Associates). Abseiling
From buildings or natural rock, up to 180' drops.
Who's got the bottle for the ultimate trust exercise?
Groups of up to 12 per rotation. Allow 6-10 mins per person.
Archery
Target archery range for all abilities. Full instruction given starting on flat bows and progressing to more advanced models. GNAS* approved instructors. Form an orderly queue, Robin....,
Caving
You won't believe what there is underground until you try caving. Purely magical and for most, an unforgettable experience. Various easy caves are chosen for their geology and formations, and full equipment is provided. LCMLA* approved instructors. Site specific to Mendips, S.Wales, Dartmoor, Derbyshire.
Rock Climbing
On natural rock. Learn not just balance and movement, but team work as everyone has a part to play. You will have someone else's life in your hands (after expert instruction of course!) so commitment and trust play a key role. SPA* instructors. Site specific (many locations through UK).
Climbing and Abseiling tower
Details as above, but smaller (26 ') and less daunting. Perfect for the not - so confident! SPA* instructors. Cheddar site only.
Rifle Shooting
.177 Air rifles on a 10 metre indoor range. Cheddar site only. Our range can accommodate 4 people at a time for around 20 - 30 minutes per group - depending on how fast you shoot!
Zip Slide
The ultimate adrenaline rush - nothing can compare to this. Could you launch yourself into space then zip down a rope at 30 mph? Would you? Our zip slide is 100 metres long and needs large mature trees or buildings to anchor to. This is a stunning centrepiece to an event. SPA* instructors; site specific.
Raft Building
As a team activity few things can match raft building. It's also great for a group of friends! Being first greeted with a pile of equipment then forming a plan to create, then build and finally float your own raft is a great test of team skills. The most humiliating price will be paid for getting it wrong - an impromptu swim! Our raft equipment is environmentally friendly so no pollution enters the river system, and as with all our tasks has
full risk assessments and qualified safety cover built in. We also
provide all necessary safety equipment such as buoyancy aids
and helmets, as well as windproof tops to keep warm! Learn the tricks of survival and the skills of primitive man. Content of the 3 hour sessions varies and may include: shelter building, fire lighting, plant identification, bread making, food from the hedgerow; it’s all stuff we should know but have lost over the centuries. Our own “bush tucker man” has a fountain of knowledge waiting for you. Available August 17th, 14th, 21st AM & PM. £16 adults, £14 children (min age 9) . Max group size 10, min.4. Kayak rolling clinic Learn how to do the famous “Eskimo roll” in the safety of the pool. Not for total novices, you should have some kayaking experience prior to this course. An intensive 1:2 ratio, 1 hour session that will have you rolling with the paddle and maybe by hand too! Available Monday evenings May - August, 19:00hrs. Minimum age 9 , £30 / person. Max group size 2. Key |
