Most of the activities described will be included in your programme. Previous experience is not necessary for anyone. We will do our best to ensure that your capabilities and aspirations are matched by the challenges within each activity- in safety. The exact mix will be determined by the size and capabilities of the group and, finally, by the weather.

In addition to our programme golf, fishing, quad biking, white water rafting, pony trekking are all available locally at extra cost and can be arranged given prior notice.

A visit to a local pub has always been popular- the half-mile walk back makes it almost a healthy exercise.

Hill walking
With Plynlimon, Brecon Beacons, Cader Idris and the Elan Valley lakes on our doorstep, we can show you some magnificent and rugged scenery- or we can take you through the gentler countryside of the Severn and Wye valleys. All walks are accompanied and the leader will do his best to adapt each walk to individual demands and capabilities.

Archery
Archery can be surprisingly rewarding. It is a sport that tests your powers of concentration and consistency rather than your stamina.

White water rafting
In a 14' inflatable raft you tackle rapids known as "Graveyard", "Ski Slope" and the world famous "International Wave" on the River Tryweryn near Bala. As you gain more confidence your session can provide you with some surprises. Each run is different as the nature of the river is unpredictable. However, with teamwork and co-operation the rapids can be enjoyed to the full.
