Archery

What better place to try archery
than Wales, where the long-bow is thought to have
originated!.
Archery can be taken as a fun
activity or 'taster' session; learning the basic
skills in a half-day session.
Archery is also available as
part of one of our
heritage-themed-activity
days
combined with other ancient
arts such as coracle-building, in the context of
their historical setting.

Caving

|
The underground
experience is special and South Wales has some of
the best and most easily accessible caves in the
country.
A typical caving
trip is an adventrous journey exploring large
caverns, tight squeezes and submerged
streams.
All trips are
led by knowledgable guides who will make your time
underground as rewarding and entertaining as
possible.

|
Climbing
and Abseiling

|
Climbing and
Abseiling are available as one-day tasters or as
part of a multi-activity package, we aim to
introduce participants to this exciting sport in a
controlled yet stimulating environment. Using the
security of a top-rope system, beginners can
quickly get to grips with moving around on the rock
face and trying out various methods of safeguarding
their climbing partners.
Abseiling is
introduced as a fun activity in itself as well as
being an important part of the wider climbing
skills. Indoor venues may be available in bad
weather.

Guided
Walking
Let us plan a
route to take in whatever interests you most.
Mountain summits, woodlands and waterfalls,
geology, industrial heritage, plantlife...
Single days or
multi-day walks with overnight camp or
B&B.
Our
'Active
History'
programme may also be of interest.
Wayfaring
An introduction
to map and compass skills and a great way to learn
the rudiments of
navigation.
It is an
ideal introduction to pastimes such as
hill-walking.
And it's
FUN!
Orienteering
A more
competitive experience. Working in pairs or small
teams and with an atmosphere of friendly
competition you will plan your route and collect
the control points to complete the circuit in the
best possible
time.

Night
Walk

|
The countryside takes on a
different atmosphere after dark, bringing all your
senses into focus. The Brecon Beacons are reknowned
for the quality of the night sky, making this an
ideal place for night walking. Depending on the
weather, and the phase of the moon, we may enjoy
star gazing, moon watching, bat watching, night
navigation and orienteering....
Come with an open mind and
enjoy!

|
Coasteering
|
Coasteering is difficult to
define - it's different every trip! We follow the
coastline, close to sea level. At times this may
involve scrambling, climbing, wading, jumping into
the water and swimming. One thing is for certain -
you will get VERY wet!
