All safety equipment and insurance are included - there are no hidden extras. We have excellent relationships with hotels in the area - let us know if you would like to book a hotel at a discount.

After the course you will be able to access our resource pages, with technique and training tips, mini-guides and offers.

  • How to tie a rope into your harness
