When booking two or more consecutive days there are fee reductions ( please see our prices below). ......
" Dear Iain & team,

Just to say thanks to everyone involved in our
caving weekend. It has been a huge achievement 
for me to do some of the things which I would never 
have thought myself capable of and I always felt in 
safe hands. Although I think it proved to me that I'm 
not a natural caver (!) I am so very pleased to have done 
as much as I did, and will remember it always.

Kind regards,
                                                             Rebecca Weller "

As a very special Christmas present, Security Manager Russell Jones (above, centre) who 
has enjoyed caving with us before asked if our experienced caving director Tony Kendall  ( right ) 
would take him and his daughter Samantha out in January for two days of private caving & potholing 
tuition.  Here they are safe and sound at the end of two days of caving guiding - after successfully 
completed a very challenging trip down Giant's Hole - England's deepest cave system.  For that trip 
they were also accompanied by an extra safety assistant from our team   Subject to staff availability 
we are always happy to arrange private tuition & guiding for parents and their teenage and grown up 
children wanting to share some unique, top quality time together in the Great Outdoors.  

Below are comments from more delighted caving guiding

" Dear Iain,

Just a quick note to thank you and your staff for
the brilliant weekend of guiding I spent with you
8th and 9th May.  It was an excellent 50th birthday
surprise from my wife. I had a wonderful time and 
Andy could not have been more patient or encouraging.
He was excellent company and made the weekend.
I enclose some photos to show an unfit 50 year old 
can have a good time caving and abseiling. 
Thanks again to you and your staff."

Dear Iain, Caroline and Tony,

Just a quick line to say many thanks for last weekend.  
All 6 of us agreed what a great weekend of fun it was, 
and you humour, patience and encouragement ( especially
with the abseiling ) was paramount to that.  We had great 
fun on the second day at the watersports centre raft building 
( and sinking) and kayaking.
Cheers, 

                  Lise, Yvette, Sue, Vicky, Steph and Kay.

     ( These 6 jolly women booked 2 days of private instruction 
       in June 2007enjoying abseiling, orienteering a bike trail
       quest and sessions of watersports).


Hi Iain,
Just a quick thank you to you and all 
your team at Rock Lea. We thoroughly 
enjoyed our two days with you. Andy 
was an excellent guide and made the 
experience very enjoyable for myself 
and Dale. We hope to be back again 
and trying something different with 
you next year.  
Thanks again,  
                                        Elisha Jaques -Oct. 2007



Dear Caroline and Iain,
Just a quick e-mail to say thank you for
