Review:

We spent an afternoon in the indoor climbing and caving centre but we'll definitely go back to try some of the other activities. James wants to try the Sky Trek and Joe is keen on the Dingle Scramble. The two hours indoors includes a scary (according to Joe) caving session in complete darkness, some great rope bridges to test your nerve on, having a go at the climbing walls, and ends with a zip slide. Plenty of fun for all the family - and mum and dad can have a go if they want to (ours didn't!) - but you need to be relatively fit. It's all safe and you are supervised throughout. And there's some fantastic scenery around the Brecon Beacons on the drive there and back. Dad says there are some really good pubs as well!
