An underground adventure with Nick Carter

Overview

I'm afraid the Wild Weekend is now totally SOLD OUT, but how about taking it one step further? I'd like to invite you onto an even bigger and more epic adventure - caving in the north of England. This is our chance to travel even further than a Wild Weekend, challenge ourselves much more, and have a real adventure together. Just like on my Deep Fear caving expedition, we'll be journeying far underground and pushing ourselves to become (slightly) braver. Don't worry though, we've got some brilliant experts on hand to teach us how it's done: members of the British cave rescue team. We'll learn how to climb down ropes, move through twisty, narrow passages, and most importantly, we'll learn the secret to becoming slightly braver in everything we do. On this trip, we'll mix epic adventure and bravery challenges with fun and comfort. After a big day of cave exploration, we'll head back to a cosy, heated bunkhouse for some good food (pizza party, anyone?) and warm beds. Who's up for going on a real expedition?

Hosts

On this amazing adventure, Nick will be joined by some really inspirational and educational friends. The expedition team is comprised of school teachers from the Adventure Society who have more than 15 year's experience putting on adventure activities for children across the UK and abroad. All leaders are DBS checked and trained in physical and mental first aid.

FAQs

Children in years 4,5 and 6 are perfect for this adventure.

Don't worry! We'll be aiming to push everyone slightly out of their comfort zone, but we won't be doing anything crazy. If you want to push yourself with small spaces we can do that, if you'd prefer to stay in bigger caverns, that's no problem. Promise. 

Hopefully, you'll still have our WhatsApp details from the Wild Weekend. If you do, just ping us a message any time. If not, just email basecamp@adventuresociety.co.uk
