High Hopes for Special Needs Adventures

 Activity Adventures for 2010

For 2010 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!!

Dartmoor Adventure Week

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.

Ashdown Forest Adventure

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.

River Wye Canoe Expedition

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.
