As Highland Perthshire so readily indicates in its name there is a lot of high ground to negotiate and one of the most exhilarating ways to do it is by abseiling. Over many years our instructors have made numerous descents from many things around the world, oil rigs, tower blocks, cliff faces and even helicopters!
Our team of instructors guarantee to teach you the safest way to descend a vertical drop in the shortest time possible! For the Novice we can provide the first stage in a new experience and for those with a level of expertise we can give you the opportunity to abseil one of the best descents in Britain.
Full instruction, ropes and safety equipment are provided, stout footwear is required. Available for persons 14 years and over. A minimum charge based on 4 people is applied.
Since the dark ages British bowmen have held a fearful reputation, and up until the end of the 16th century archery was a compulsory skill that was practised after Church every Sunday. Some people think that firing an arrow into a butt is an easy thing, however those of us who still regularly practise this art know better. We use 2 types of bow, field sport bows and competition target bows, both draw 32lbs.
For a test of martial skill, dexterity, and a quieter way of hitting a target, Archery is an entertaining way to spend some time.
