Geocache Description:


This one has been mentioned at various previous events - for the last couple of years, I've been advising on a project to build a new climbing wall at High Cross Scout HQ & Community Hall - and it's finally complete!

So here's something super rare - a T5 CCE.  Come and have a go, and see if you've got a head for heights - going up this time not abseiling down!  For those not aware, I'm a qualified Rock Climbing Instructor (RCI) and have insurance through my BMC membership when acting as a volunteer.  Suitable for adults and well-behaved children - we have equipment that will go down to at least age 4.

There is no fee to attend the event or sign the log book, and you don't have to climb to sign the log.  If you want to climb though (and I'd really encourage you to try), please make a donation to the Scout Group to cover the costs of heating and lighting - suggested minimum donation £2.50 per person.  Subject to demand, we may be able to run a couple of the "high ropes" challenge activities too.

Subject to confirmation, but tea/coffee should be available for a donation to the Scout Group too.

Huge thanks to 28th Newport Scout Group for allowing us to use their facility, and also to Kev of C.A.K.E Crusaders for offering to help me with belaying etc.
