There are no prerequisites, however the maximum number of youth per session is 15 and a minimum of two section leaders additional to the vertical guides are required. The form below will ask for your Scout Group name and it is recommended that you discuss with your leader to check availability prior to completing the form.

Note!

Participants will need to walk and scramble up a moderate incline to return to the cliff top after abseiling. Participants will need to be comfortable (with assistance) in undertaking such activity.

Abseiling is exposed to the elements and suitable clothing should be worn to suit weather conditions, it can be windy, cold or sunny.  Abseiling will not occur if heavy rain is forecast or occurring.
