Colleen T27 May 2025Fantastic gorge walking activity with professional instructor. The whole experience, from booking to taking part was fantastic. On the day, quite a few of our group were a little nervous and Neil, our instructor, was excellent with our mixed ability group.

This was a Hen do activity which i think will be remembered and talked about for years to come.Verified
