These sessions are the perfect way to build new friendships, try something new and challenge yourself. Our climbing instructors will support and guide you, developing your ability session on session in your pursuit of ascending our wall!
Research has found rock climbing to benefit individuals physically, developing strength and coordination, as well as benefiting participants mentally, relieving stress and reducing anxiety.

On each day the available time will be split into 2 x 45 minute sessions as listed below where 10 cyclists together with a family member or carer will be able to bring their own or borrow the adaptive bikes and enjoy a session.
By using specially adapted cycles, the activities are both physically and mentally stimulating and above all fun. Inclusive cycling sessions are held at the Sportspark track providing a safe environment for our athletes to hone their cycling skills. There will be opportunities to take part in skill and speed training if cyclists are eager to progress to competition or just improve their skills.
