Following on from the Government guidelines on the lifting of restrictions we are no longer imposing mask wearing.  However if you would prefer to wear a mask we are more than happy for you to do so.  If you would prefer us as staff to wear masks for your abseil we will also be willing to do so but would ask that you notify of this prior to the day of your abseil.

Please be advised that if local or National guidelines change then we have the right to impose Covid safety rules regarding masks and the use of gloves and also adjust the limits on numbers of spectators.
