My boyfriend Matt and I have been on the half day and full day climbing experience and they were brilliant! We are really glad we chose Hatt Adventures to learn the basics of climbing and it has definitely given us the bug! We have learnt a lot just in that day and a half and cant wait to book up the Southern Sandstone course. Everyone has been really friendly and helpful and made learning rock climbing really fun. Thank you Hatt Adventures!!

I just wanted to say that this course was everything that we expected and was a very enjoyable morning.
Your instructors (Tom and Simon) were very professional ensuring everyone was safe whilst also making sure everyone had fun and felt at ease. I will be recommending your events etc to my friends.
Thank you

Just a quick note to say thanks for a fun morning of rock climbing, my knees were brusied and I ached two days later but had so much fun it was worth it.
Really enjoyed it and looking forward to doing it again soon.
Thanks and best regards

In advance of the day I didn't really know what to expect as it was my first foray into climbing. Just the sheer fact we were able to climb on rocks rather than a climbing wall was exciting. Despite being a beginner I loved the fact I was able to climb, make my own mistakes and was given encouragement rather than too much hand holding and theory! I felt like I learnt so much in those 4 hours - the instruction was hands off but really good and the other people on the course were great. I can now see why you won't let anyone change their booking less than 30 days in advance - it made sure everyone turned up and was committed. Very good half day climbing - thanks!
