BPW24: Caving & High Ropes Course (Sat 09:30)

This event is part of the Outdoorlads 2024 *BIG Peaky Weekender* and participation is intended for those attending the weekend event.

Caving

This is a full day activity! In the morning, explore the exciting underground world by visiting the caves and mines of the Peak District. The caving and mine exploration adventure will often include the opportunity to see some beautiful formations and experience complete darkness! This event is suitable for absolute beginners. 

In the afternoon, we'll try our hands at the High Ropes courses on site! You'll alternate between two course:

Sky Ropes

Climb the 8m pole to the platform, then if you dare you can test your balance and tolerance of heights by traversing the course of seven linked elements.  To descend, step off the platform to gently ‘float’ to the ground.

Cargo Net & Tree Climb

A rope-protected climbing challenge to reach the top of the scramble net.  Your team can help or hinder by holding the net for you..!  Climb the challenging Scots Pine tree and ring the bell when you reach the top!

There’s a range of challenges:

• Get your group to pull the net back whilst you climb and touch the log at the top.
• Not hard enough?  How about climbing up and sitting on the log?
• Not hard enough?  How about climbing up and standing on the log?  You might even feel like doing a dance whilst you’re up there!
• Fancy a different challenge?  Climb as high as you can up the 12m long runs of holds up a Scots Pine tree – & if you’re good enough ring the bell at the top.
