Why Aylmerton? Far enough away to be an ‘adventure’ but close enough to come home if there were a serious problem. Experienced, knowledgeable, well qualified instructors who lead activities.

Time out – to be creative – design sea defences – or fossil hunt – or explore the beach as a habitat…

Explore in beautiful woodland, using mapping skills and most important – TEAMWORK!
