As on previous trips, the trip was not adequately described at the point of booking. Details emerged on the last week, and even on the day itself. Whilst the swim and RHb ride were good and it was lovely, I felt that information regarding the hugely slippery beach walk out at OHR was not. These trips seem to be geared at gung ho types with no real inclusivity for the less than super fit. I did fall over , but luckily not hurt. The guides were not really supportive, it seemed to be a keep up and shut up approach.
I should have asked more questions before spending money. The sauna experience was not given enough time on either swims and breakfast pastries were not good. The support team was a man down and this contributed.

This was an awesome experience! Thank you so much.
The whole morning from beginning to end was full of so many delights.
Seeing the sunrise, being in the sea and watching and experiencing this beautiful scene was really wonderful.
And the 'main event' - swimming to Old Harry was the most amazing and exhilarating thing I've ever done. Mel looked after us so well and I felt safe and supported throughout.
Exploring the stacks of Old Harry was such a treat as well.
And all topped off with the rib ride back to the beach!

Fantastic, well organised event.
Stunning solstice sunrise- very lucky with the weather. Perfect setting for the sauna. Thoroughly enjoyed the swim and exploration around Old Harry. The rib ride back topped off a perfect morning.

It was a brilliant experience and the guides made it very special with stories, facts and information.
The climb down is hard work and Frith and Don made sure we were safe at all times.
Thank you.
PS - an amazing cake!!

Despite the weather not being in our favour, Mel and Rich provided some great swimming experiences, where we were all supported to achieve our best and which felt very safe - and fun! Great organisation, lovely friendly people and support team - and lots of delicious cake!
