What to Expect
Rock Climbing: Gritstone climbing at the iconic Stanage edge. Push yourself, reach the top, be rewarded with spectacular views over the Hope Valley.
Abseiling: It’s time for Mission Impossible! Get your adrenalin coursing as you abseil back down to terra firma with as much flair and speed as you can muster.

Caving: Prepare to get muddy as you delve into the wild subterranean world of Bagshawe Cavern. Additional MAD points available for those crazy enough to take on the challenge of squeezing themselves through The Masher!
Canoeing: Less MAD, more like a saunter, unless you throw someone in, then they may get real MAD! However, if it’s a warm day you could swim in the deep, deep middle from the safety of your Canadian canoe.
