Real Rock Climbing at Windgather Rocks

Published

by Susan

Peggy loves her rock climbing but has never actually climbed real outdoor rocks before so we thought we needed to correct that. I found out about Tony at Riley Outdoor Adventures through his Facebook page and so I booked Peggy onto one of his Home Ed climbing session. Tony was great with the kids and clearly knew his stuff. Peggy had an absolutely brilliant time and made some new friends too. We all went as a family to watch and enjoyed the gorgeous weather and views. We’d be regulars if these Friday climbing sessions didn’t clash with Forest School; we just can’t be in two places at once!

He gave us loads of tips on how to find fossils and his knowledge was incredible. It was amazing to see actual dinosaur footprints in the rocks and to hold a fossil ... Read more
