“We’ve recently spent a fabulous two days with Wes, rock climbing, abseiling, ghyll scrambling and canoeing. We are a family of 4, Wes was incredibly patient, friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging in all activities, especially with the children, bought all the kit we would need and provided clear instruction and guidance. The booking process was very straightforward with clear and timely communication throughout. I cant recommend Adventure Hunter highly enough, we will be booking again for our holiday next year soon!”
Testimonials
“Canoeing and abseiling - brilliant fun but the instruction, guidance and local history information was exceptional. Very friendly and encouraging!”
“We’ve now had several days out with Wes, climbing. Everything from instructed courses to guided days on big mountain routes. Always feel totally safe and have an exciting and enjoyable day. We’ve learned loads and now feel we have the skills and confidence to climb independently. We’ll always come to Wes if we want to learn something new or push our grade.”
