Myself and my husband were given a canyoning experience day as one of more unusual engagement gifts but what fun! The day was well run and organised. Health and safety was paramount. Mark encouraged the group to work as a team and help each other. He also put no one under any pressure to do anything they didn't want to...

I can't rate this business highly enough. Mark's attention to detail, patience and experience are second to none.
He made sure we had an amazing weekend, with the right balance of fun and fear, but always backed up by the knowledge that you were in the safest of hands.

What a great day, I was struggling to sort an adventure based activity from Newcastle based stag event. I wanted to make more of an effort than the usual 'stag and hen' reseller websites.
