We have an above ground caving experience that can be hired & operated by groups. The duty wardens will show you the facility & how it operates & then leave you to run the activity yourselves. We have helmets & knee pads for users to wear & there are two emergency escape hatches on the narrow section, just in case. There is dim & bright lighting in each chamber that can be switched on as required. No more than 10 people allowed in the complex at once.

This facility can be booked in advance via the Activity Coordinator or onsite with the duty warden team at a cost of £15 per hour/per group. (Note; If booking onsite you may have a limited choice of times if others have already prebooked)

We hire the caving out in 1 hour sessions starting at 9.30, 10.45, 12.00, 2.00, 3.15 & 4.30 on Saturday & Sunday. Midweek bookings may be possible sometimes. Please make sure you are not late as you might not get your full hour if another group are booked in after you. Other times can sometimes be arranged.

	Just a few pictures of the Caving Experience shed & the route through the tubes & finally, light at the end of the tunnel. But watch out there might be a surprise in store !!

The caving is bookable via the Activity Coordinator. An adult MUST be in attendance to supervise the activity. Please book as early as possible.

The Millennium Activity Centre has been built in an area of the wood that was previously overgrown & unused. Work took place over several months by our volunteer staff & with the aid of a grant from the National Lottery. Equipment was purchased & staff trained & the centre finally opened in May 2000.

All the activities are run to the Scout & Guide Association rules & policies. We also hold third party insurance cover through the Scout Association to allow us to take non-Scout & Guide users.

The Archery, Air Rifle Shooting & Climbing/abseiling all cost £20 an hour for Scout & Guide Groups & £30 an hour for other user groups, per activity & are booked through our Activity Coordinator. We recommend a maximum of 12 people in a one hour session.

We run all three activities in 1 hour sessions each starting at 9.30, 10.45, 12.00, 2.00, 3.15 & 4.30 on Saturday & Sunday. Midweek bookings may be possible sometimes. Please make sure you are not late as you might not get your full hour if another group are booked in after you.

Please contact the Activity Coordinator to book the activities. We ask for a minimum of four weeks notice, but please book as soon as possible so we can arrange staff.

1/ All Guide Association users under 18 will need a Parent Consent Form to take part in any of the activities. (We can supply a blank form for leaders to fill in)

3/ Safety is of paramount importance in all the activities & each activity will include a safety talk for each group. This will be kept as brief as possible, but must take place. For the safety of our staff & the rest of the your group, messing about or repeated disregard of safety with result in activities being stopped. Please switch mobile phones OFF or onto SILENT & DO NOT use them while in the Activity Centre.

4/ Please be aware that for safety reasons, activities may have to be called off at the last minute due to bad weather.

Our archery staff are all trained to GNAS standard. The range has three bosses, so groups shoot three at a time with the rest of the group waiting behind a metal rail. We have tabs & braces for everyone to wear & we have some left handed bows. Please try to spread out any left handed members of your group so that they don't all end up in one group. Please dress sensibly for the time of year, but try not to wear clothes with baggy sleeves.

Our climbing staff are all qualified to the relevant Scout & Guide Association standard. The tower is four sided, one for abseil, one with a chimney & two for different levels of climbing. There are fixed ladders up the centre of the tower with lighting on each level. The top platform is approx 30ft high & there is also a lower landing at 16ft for the younger abseilers if needed. Everyone entering the climbing area will be required to wear one of our safety helmets, even if just spectating. Please note that females are required to wear trousers. Please dress sensibly for the time of year. Please note that this activity may have to be called off at short notice due to bad weather.

	Our shooting staff are all trained to NSRA standard. The range has four targets, so groups shoot four at a time with the rest of the group waiting behind a metal rail. Everyone in the shooting area will be required to wear our safety glasses while in the range, even if just a spectator. Please dress sensibly for the time of year.

We are always on the look out for more staff for wardens, activities, providore & the midweek teams so if your interested please talk to the Head Camp Warden.
