Fantastic experience Excellent experience all round. Andy and the team were super friendly and knowledgeable. We felt in safe hands. Clear guidance and the instructions suitable for all levels. With the weather being so good we got to do more than I expected - climbing into a mine, scrambling up waterfalls, jumping into pools. Beautiful scenery and nice group. Would highly recommend.
