Reviews

Massive thanks to Lee and his team from Keswick Adventures for running our fundraising abseil. The team worked all day without a break to get all of our rugby squad and friends and family over the edge. They were in great spirits all day despite very windy conditions and their sense of humour and professionalism meant that lots of people now have memories that will stay with them forever. We have worked with them in the past and hopefully will again in the future. I would thoroughly recommend them for any teams wanting some team building activities.
Superb, as a Scout group visiting from Scotland we had 50 ghyll scrambling over 2 days. The overall experience was tremendous, everyone in our group had a great time and we left with smiles all round.

Thanks for an amazing activity.

Amazing corporate day out tailored completely to our group. Lee and the guys were unreal and we’ll definitely be back!!

Sarah

We had such a laugh and really enjoyed a totally different experience. We slid down natural rock slides, jumped into pools, belly flopped, went backwards and had so much fun. I would absolutely recommend this as a fantastic family activity. Our group ranged from age 11 to 59 and we all loved it. If you get the chance to do if you should. The team are safety conscious and fully explained how to stay safe without spoiling the experience.
