Happy on the River

Social Evening & Abseiling

For 2009 we are running five exciting adventure holiday trips. These trips are designed for those with some disability which prevents them from joining mainstream adventure activities. The object is to give the ‘Adventurers’ a sense of achievement and to encourage more independence and self-confidence and above all to have fun. If you are up for an adventure, but need that extra hand to enable you to take part, then this could well be the trip for you!
The only requirements needed to take part are a keen sense of adventure, a willingness to try something different and a good sense of humour!!
A six day adventure based in the middle of Dartmoor National Park. Canoeing, climbing, walking, abseiling and raft building are all explored under expert and qualified guidance. This adventure is based at Powder Mills Bunkhouse a comfortable granite built bunkhouse with log fire and excellent facilities. This is a very popular trip that High Hopes has run many times.
A six day adventure based in the middle of Ashdown Forest. Canoeing, climbing, walking, abseiling and raft building are all explored under expert and qualified guidance. For this trip we shall be camping in the beautiful wooded Scout campsite based in the Ashdown Forest just out of East Grinstead in Sussex.
A six day adventure based at Preston on Wye where we will camp, each day we will be launching from Witney-on-Wye. The River Wye flows through some of the most pleasant Welsh border country. The river is teeming with bird life, swans, ducks and sand martins galore. June / July is probably the best time to canoe the Wye when the weather is generally settled and the cygnets and ducklings are only a few weeks old.
Following the success of our 2008 Special We have decided to visiting the lovely mountain village of Sella again. Staying in a 300 year old farmhouse surrounded by typicalSpanash terraces with oranges,lemons and avocadotrees, giivng a real old style Spanish feel. It is an ideal base for canoeing, exploring the countryside, climbing and having fun. ther will be plenty of time to relax and swim after the days activities.
For those who want a short adventure break. This High Hopes team will be guests of Steve & Anna at Absolute Adventure in the mountains of Wales staying in their bunkhouse. You can try your hand at climbing, abseiling, walking, caving and canoeing. If you new toadventure holidays this trip will encourage you to pursue these exciting adventures further.
