Abseiling: Because what comes up must come down, swing like a lunatic as you descend through the undergrowth.
Gorge Walking: Slide down natural chutes and jump into pools as you scramble your way up Blayshaw Gill, one of Yorkshire’s premier gorge walking locations.

Canoeing: Let your MADness find its calm by relaxing on the serene backwaters of Nidderdale. Or to see someone real MAD, throw your sister in!
