“Dave’s team ran our abseil at Canonteign Falls for the Brain Tumour Research charity. Instructions were first class, the team very professional and supportive of some very nervous people. We will be using your services again.”

Prices start from around £60 per person for a guided day walk and £99 for a 10 Peak Challenge, up to £2,995 for Kilimanjaro. Group discounts are available – the more participants, the bigger the discount.
Qualified guides and instructors, safety management and insurance, and on longer events transport, accommodation and food. We also provide booking, FAQs, a training plan and a single point of contact for your participants.
Our events have helped charities raise more than £8.4 million. A single charity abseil can raise £4,000 to £80,000 in a day – Exeter Cathedral’s raised £53,000.
