Nathan organised a day of abseiling and gorge walking for our Scouts. Undoubtedly the highlight of a 10 day camp. Exciting but well structured and strong focus on safety. Highly recommend for other youth groups.

Had a fantastic time gorge walking in Neath. Nathan was a very professional and reassuring guide, with a real focus on safety while still making the whole experience fun and memorable. The scramble down the gorge was brilliant, with some really interesting features and jumps along the way. The scenery and waterfalls were spectacular. We also really enjoyed the abseiling which we did as an addition extra. Would definitely recommend!

Loads of fun, my work colleagues and I had a great time adventuring up the river with Nathan and Bev. Our group spanned a range of individual experience from keen novices to experienced climbers and mountaineers, all were challenged and well supported with their individual needs. We found their guidance gave us the confidence to push ourselves whilst always feeling safe under their expertise in this environment.

A very enjoyable day out, fording rivers, sliding down waterfalls and jumping into deep pools. I did this with work colleagues but will be coming back with my family.

What a great experience! Even though the water levels were unprecedentedly low we still had a wonderful time with a few big jumps whilst gorge scrambling. Rich our guide was great and Nathan was very helpful and responsive.

Exceptional Outfit Nathan organised two days of activities for out scout group's summer camp. Both the climbing and the gorge walking were fun, safe and exciting for all abilities and ages. We have done several summer camps and the gorge walking was one of the best things we've ever done closely followed by the rock climbing.

Gorge walking What an amazing day we had! Highly recommend this fun filled activity for the family. Great introduction into gorge walking for my children. They haven’t stopped talking about it. Nathan was amazing and encouraged the kids to step out of their comfort zone to do some amazing and unforgettable activities. Highly recommend

Great stag activity Went for a stag do and, despite the water level being very low, there was still loads to do and was really enjoyable. The team were all friendly and engaging and made the experience. The organisational aspect was very accommodating to balance out my poor communication and flip flopping.
