A new experience for most, this activity is a fantastic leveller. The unique environment poses both physical and psychological challenges that increase confidence and raise self-esteem. Participants must also support and encourage one another if all are to achieve.

Gorge Walking

A water-based activity that involves a combination of walking, scrambling, swimming and jumping, gorge walking will test a group’s communication skills to the full. In addition, the nature of the gorge means that to overcome the physical obstacles they will face, participants will have to work together, supporting each other so all can succeed.

Canoeing

Canoeing provides a unique challenge in the sense that the participants need to acquire a specific set of technical skills to be successful. Through this, participants develop patience and perseverance as well as the need to understand the strengths and needs of others and communicate effectively to achieve a common goal.

Rock Climbing

Participants have an opportunity to stretch their comfort zone in this physically demanding activity. Yet there is also much scope for teamwork, with participants taking on the responsibility of the safety of their peers and developing trust between one another.

Hill Walking

An all-inclusive activity, a hill walk allows a group to appreciate the benefits of physical fitness and the lifelong value of participation in healthy leisure activities. Participants also gain an increased appreciation for wild and beautiful places and a belief of what can be accomplished if individuals support and encourage others.

Expeditions

With the Brecon Beacons and the River Wye on our doorstep, we are perfectly placed to offer groups accompanied expeditions on foot and by canoe.

With a night away from the centre, participants acquire and develop the skills to overcome a tough physical challenge including determination, self-sufficiency and the ability to work as part of a team. Participants will also leave with a deeper understanding of the environment they find themselves in.
