What to Expect:

This is a fully guided exploration of one of the famous gritstone edges of the Peak District. On the day you'll
- Meet at the Sofa Meeting Point
- Use your own transport to reach the location (approx 30 mins.)
- Enjoy your guided Weaseling course
- Return to Thornbridge in your vehicle
Along the way, your guide will lead you through, under and over the boulders. This course explores the small boulder fields found at the foot of many of the Peak District's gritstone edges. It is a great way to introduce children to movement on rock, squeezing through small gaps and crevices as well as giving parents ideas and confidence to add more adventure to their walks.
