Middle earth is here to explore in the Yorkshire Dales. Our three-day Summit to Stalagmite Adventurer course gives students the unique opportunity to explore the dales from its fascinating gritstone rocks to its old limestone underground tunnels that were once mined, to the summit of a mountain hilltop.
Encouraging each other each step of the way, students will learn the local history of the area whilst learning more about themselves and each other… making new friendships and creating memoires for a lifetime along the way.

Students will learn about the history of the mine, what it was for, how mining happened, how long ago it happened, what the conditions were like for miners, and ultimately what led to the demise of the industry in its scale.
