Activities

Canoeing/ Kayaking
The Group regularly takes its members canoeing/ kayaking during the summer months.

Most members have never been in a canoe/ kayak before they join the

Group, so this is a great experience for them.

The Group has 6 staff who are qualified canoe/ kayak instructors, at different levels.

Rock Climbing

Many of the staff are rock climbing enthusiasts and we have 4 professionally qualified leaders.

Consequently, this has become another a main activity of the Group. We travel to as far as North Wales or as near as Helsby for outdoor climbs in the summer and use the indoor climbing wall at Warrington during the winter.

Mountaineering

Mountaineering, is one of the Groups best activities, ranging from a simple hill walk to an all out scramble up a Mountain, The members of the Group can feel a real sense of achievement, when finally after maybe 2-3 hours they are at the summit of a mountain that they thought they could never climb. It’s a fun day out and enjoyed by everyone. The Group has two professionally qualified Leaders and a number of others who are working towards this award.

Map Reading

This is a very important skill for members of the Group during both mountaineering and training for the Duke of Edinburgh Award expedition. Skills are usually worked on during the autumn/ winter session at the Group building.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award (+14)

The Duke of Edinburgh Award can be pursued through the Group and is one of the main activities for the +14 year old members of the adventure unit. The Group aids members to achieve Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. It proves to be a very enjoyable experience with a recognised award at the end of it.
