During
these weekends, experienced leaders will accompany all groups. No previous
experience of any activity is necessary. All activities will be tailored
to suit the capabilities of participants, and it is hoped that even experienced
people will find new challenges to be enjoyed. Planned activities include
climbing and mountain walking. Other options may include kite-flying and
mountain-biking, (to be decided during the weekend). The charge for the
weekend includes accommodation, travel, meals (except those purchased on
the journeys) and all activities except cycle hire (see note 7 below).
