Our start time and meeting point is at 9:30am at our centre. Here we will brief you on the day's activity whilst you help yourself to a free brew and biscuit. From here we will set off to the crag for an exciting day's learning. We sometimes we use areas further away from our centre so you can get the most out of your course, therefore some transport is advantageous. However if you are struggling for transport please let us know so we can arrange some for you.
How to book:
To book its super simple, we have 'Open Courses' which run regularly throughout the year on set dates. Just select which date works for you and book online.
