Easter Escape Devon: Abseiling

This is one of the events organised as part of the Easter Escape : Adventure on the Devon Coast weekend and is for members attending the Hostel Event only.

Based in the dramatic setting of Berry Head Quarry, your instructor will kit you up in a harness and helmet before giving you a safety briefing and demonstration of how the system works. You will then have a 1 to 1 coaching experience as you approach the abseil platform, attached safely to two ropes. Your instructor will talk you through each step while keeping you secure on a safety rope, so you can focus on being in control of the abseil rope. You will then be encouraged to take on the challenge of descending the 25m rock face down into the bottom of the quarry. It is then just a short walk back up the path to the top.
