Coasteering

  • Ref: TYFFD

  • Duration: 8 hrs

  • Traverse the bottom of cliffs - climbing, scrambling, jumping and swimming
  • Work in a small team to figure out the best routes
  • In the afternoon, have a go at either kayaking, surfing or abseiling
  • All equipment included - just bring your sense of adventure

Most of us live in nice, safe houses, work in nice, safe offices, and our biggest adrenaline rush of the day comes from jumping onto the train just as the doors are closing. So rediscover your sense of adventure amid spectacular scenery with this amazing coasteering experience. You'll climb rocks, jump off cliffs, swim in the sea and do plenty of scrambling about. After a full safety briefing and getting kitted out, you'll set off in a small team with your instructor to traverse along the bottom of the cliffs, figuring out the best route together and trying to dodge the waves. Where you can, you'll climb along the rocks, but when the going's too steep it's time to jump in and swim! Lunch will be available, or you can bring your own. After lunch, just in case you haven't had enough of the great outdoors, it's time to try either kayaking, surfing or climbing/abseiling. You might get a few bumps along the way, but this is an inspiring, challenging and thrilling day.
