Summary:
We loved this activity - perfect for a rainy day in the Lakes. It is basically indoor Via Ferrata - the course was a great mix of challenge & excitement all in the unique surroundings of a Slate Mine. The whole family (2 adults & kids aged 14 and 11) had fun. Special mention to guide Matt, who was superb.
