Abseiling

ONLY AVILABLE FOR MEMBERS OF THE SCOUT AND GIRL GUIDING ASSOCIATIONS

Abseiling down our Martin Wright climbing tower start from 1 hour sessions for 12 people. With a maximum of one person at a time rappelling their way to the bottom after making their way to the top using the internal ladders. You'll test your head for heights as you lean back over the edge 9 metre (30 feet) up in the air. Controlling your descent by feeding the rope through the descender with your hands. Feeling confident, why not try a couple of jumps as you continue your rappel. Once at the bottom one of the team will detach you from the rope.

For those not taking part maybe bring a chair or bench to watch friends and adults take their turn. Very little shade or shelter is nearby to shelter from the sun or rain. With flood lights showing the way this activity can be used for most of the day. We have a selection of harnesses in order to allow for most sized participants for those aged 8 and over.

We have a very limited number of instructors qualified to Rock Climbing Instructor (RCI) but should you have your own instructor and equipment you can use the tower. Please note that a booking request must be made 6 weeks in advance of the activity to allow us to roster some volunteer instructors.

When auto belay climbing is taking place abseiling can not. Please factor this in to your event planning.

S.E.N.D accessibility

From the carpark to the tower there is no hard surface so is dependent on the wheelchair in use. For other accessibility requirements the sessions can be reasonably adapted, please discuss with the climbing tower coordinator when booking of any requirements.
