Question 1

6) Which Rock and Moor activities are suitable for Children?

Helen Cox · Accepted Answer

All of our activities and courses are suitable for children.

For Rock Climbing and Abseiling, generally we're able to choose a venue and tailor activities to suit the child's confidence and ability. For very young children it totally depends on their level of confidence and understanding on the day. We've had some 4yr olds who love climbing and can't get enough - and others who just aren't into it at all, despite encouragement on the easiest options.

For Adventure Caving, if children are fairly able and outdoorsy, they should be fine caving. Very rarely, children/adults get to the entrance of a cave and decide it's just not for them. If they are happy to go through the entrance, they will usually continue to thoroughly enjoy the adventure! Pridhamsleigh Cavern and Goat Church Cavern are suitable for all ages (mobility is the key factor). The suitability of Bakers Pit Cave depends largely on prior caving experience and the ability to closely follow instruction, as this is a conservation cave. Swildon's Hole caving trips have a minimum age of 10yrs as this can be quite a strenuous and committing activity (particularly the Full Trip to Sump 1). Please contact us to discuss if unsure!

On our Navigation Courses, we try to make it as much fun and engaging as possible for children. Children over 8yrs or so are likely to gain more from the course than very young children.

Hill Walking and Mountaineering activities involve a certain level of stamina, and this can vary with the individual child. We will be happy to discuss this with you and tailor the activity accordingly.

Our courses are operated on a private basis, unless otherwise specified. We like to be as inclusive as possible, and will always endeavour to design your course or activity to best suit the age ranges, interests and abilities of participants.

Please remember that each child will need a parent or legal guardian with them. This person can either participate or observe their child/ren rock climbing, but would need to participate in activities that involve moving over a wider area such as caving, navigation, hill walking and mountaineering.
