Amazing!!!

Jo_S, Feb 2024
Absolutely loved this experience. Well out of my comfort zone. Woody was really encouraging & also told us some of the history of the slate mine. The tasks pushed us & the views from the top are well worth the effort. Loved the fact the group was just myself & partner, so could go at our own pace. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing, will be back.
