Adventure Activities

LARGE SELECTION OF ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE RAIN OR SHINE!!

As well as the activities listed individually below we realise that many people want to come and 'have a go' at a variety of the activities we offer.

In 2010 we are offering All Day Adventure walks,you will meet our instructors at the centre and then be taken on one of our circuits during which you will be able to try many of our activities including abseiling, climbing, caving and canoeing. We can provide a picnic lunch which can be taken at one of the many stunning viewpoints which are hidden away off the beaten track near our centre. We firmly believe that this is a fantastic opportunity to get the kids away from the TV and give them a real taste of adventure and fresh air.

Rock Climbing
The exciting challenge of climbing a rock face and the thrill of abseiling, from part of our 'Yat Rock' Programme. From an initial briefing on safety and rock climbing procedure, you progress under instruction to working in pairs; having the added assurance of our specialist fail-safe equipment. Symonds Yat is well known as an excellent climbing venue and has no shortage of routes to match the requirements of all groups. For those with some climbing experience, our guides can lead and rig more difficult routes and demonstrate the most up to date equipment and manoeuvres.

Climbing Wall
For wet weather or an introduction to climbing we have a superb indoor climbing wall with abseiling platform and steel caving ladders.

Abseiling
Abseiling is one of our most popular activities and pitches range from 10 to 30m to suit all levels of skill.

Caving
The caves and old iron mines of the Forest of Dean present great adventure and exploration of the unknown. They are safe and undaunting and our qualified and experienced leaders will quickly put you at ease in the underground environment. You'll have lots of fun and be inspired and educated with regard to local history and geology.

Ropes Course
The ropes course and initiative exercises are supervised mental, physical and emotional challenges that require a combination of teamwork skills and individual commitment. The course takes you on a problem -solving trip through our woodland, ending with an 80m zip wire - excellent fun and a tremendous sense of achievement.

Archery
A popular activity where participants are introduced to the equipment and techniques of archery with the competitive edge of target shooting.
