Family Fun this Summer

Exciting changes are happening to our kids club. We’re adopting a new structure for our kids club and a new way of booking. Courses now last for 6 weeks and give you the chance to complete Level ONe or Two of the NICAS scheme.

Courses cost either

£55 for a one off payment

Or

3 payments of £20.

These changes will take full affect from September the 4th however we’ll be running a few pilot courses over the summer to give you guys a taste. Usual casual sessions are still available.

Level 1 Pilot courses start : 31st July and the 1st August

Level 2 pilot course starts: 4th August

Enquire at reception for more info.

we’ll also be running family crag days throughout the summer.

Family crag days are a great opportunity to get the whole family enjoying the great outdoors. These are full day sessions out climbing in the Peak District with our fully qualified instructors. All climbers over the age of 5 are  welcome!

Course Costs:                             Adults: £40,  Children £20

Back to the 1800’s in Bolton

Andy and Gareth have just been helping David Hurst
raise money for Children of Chernobyl, by abseiling of Bolton’s towering Threlfall chimney on Salop St. Bolton.

The chimney was part of David’s Great-Grandfather’s factory making components for Manchester’s Mills during the industrial revolution, now disused, David thought it could be  brought back into use for this good cause.

Helped by John Warburton’s Steeplejacks of Blackburn, Andy and Gareth rigged the abseil ready for David’s costume clad descent of the tower.

Keep your eyes peeled in the Manchester & Bolton Evening Newspapers for pics and write up’s on the event!
