What do you need to know about Abseiling?

For those looking for a real challenge and wanting to push themselves. 

With venues from small rock outcrops to 120 foot of vertical cliffs. You'll wear a harness and helmet for protection and attached to ropes anchored at the top of the cliff as you control the speed of your own descent.

Originally used to aid climbers and mountaineers to retreat from a climb, Abseiling can be a stand-alone activity but is best combined with a rock climbing session to get a full experience - all you need is a go for it attitude.

Abseiling is a perfect family activity as everyone can have a go. A superb option for small groups and school parties especially when conbined with a Rock Climbing session.

Breaking Down Barriers: Empowering Women to Participate in Adventure Triathlons

Looking at our Event stats over the years, we were pretty pleased to see the gender split has improved significantly from 30/70 in 2023 to 42/58 in 2024. However, we appreciate there is still more we can do to help break down barriers that may prevent women from attending our events and experiencing incredible adventures. We recognise that there is a huge amount of women out there itching to get on triathlons, hit the trails with their mates and experience the thrills of pushing yourself on an event. Equally, there are many factors that are at play when it comes to signing on the dotted line, getting to the start line... never mind, reaching the finish line! That is why we are pledging to do more than ever to create a welcoming, inclusive environment for all. We want more awesome women at our events absolutely rocking it and creating a positive cycle of inspiring other women to follow suit. Lets explore our journey and how we plan to do this...

Dealing with periods on an event

Dealing with periods on an event

Event Day is by default a challenge in itself – without the added complications of dealing with your period (aches and pains, hormones, and extra kit to contend with to name a few!). We are here to make the day as stress-free and enjoyable as possible and want every single person to come away from an event feeling elated from their experience... even when on their period! We are delving into elements we have considered to help make the event experience as comfortable as possible whilst on your period - more than simply adding chocolate to the fuel stations (although we appreciate that is a crucial step too!). As well as steps you might like to take to ease your comfort levels too.
