Monday

Malham Cove & Gordale Scar Day

After breakfast, we'll take you to explore two of the most spectacular natural landmarks in the Yorkshire Dales: Malham Cove and Gordale Scar.

First, we'll visit Malham Cove, a dramatic limestone cliff rising around 260 feet above the surrounding landscape. This incredible location even featured in the Harry Potter films! You'll have the chance to walk to the top and enjoy fantastic views across the Dales.

​

We'll then follow the beautiful route past Janet's Foss, a picturesque waterfall hidden amongst the trees, before continuing towards Gordale Scar. This dramatic limestone ravine, with its towering cliffs and waterfalls, is one of the highlights of the area.

It's a brilliant day for experiencing the Yorkshire Dales together before returning to High Adventure to relax, enjoy dinner and join in with the evening entertainment.

Tuesday

Raft Building, Archery & Bushcraft

Today brings another great mix of activities, starting with Raft Building.

Working together, you'll need to design and build a raft before putting your creation to the ultimate test on the water! It's a fantastic team challenge and usually comes with plenty of laughs, particularly when it's time to find out whose raft actually floats.

For the other half of the day, you'll try your hand at Archery and Bushcraft.

Learn how to safely use a bow and arrow, practise your aim and see who can hit the target before discovering some useful bushcraft skills with our instructors.

Then it's time to relax, enjoy dinner and settle in for another evening of entertainment.
