The AALS License
We have The AALS License (issued by the Adventure Activities Licensing Service on behalf of the Health and Safety Executive) and its a legally required permit in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) for commercial providers who offer high-risk outdoor adventure activities to young people under the age of 18 and in education.
The primary goal of the AALS license is to assure parents, teachers, and participants that commercial providers have robust safety management systems, qualified staff, and proper equipment in place to minimize avoidable risk.

Activity equipment
During the booking process you will have been asked to fill out an online form with sizes. Really important that this is done. Correctly fitting equipment is for the safety of your group.
Changing
There are no changing facilities at any of our activity locations. All our activities are rural and in the best locations possible for that activity. Speak to our office if you want some advice.
Paperwork
Hopefully you will now be greeted by one of our Instructors he will then ask you to sign a form outlining the risk of adventure activities and importance of staying safe. Educational groups may have been previously sent the forms so please bring them with you sighned by a parent/Gurdian.
Parking
There is parking at all our adventure activities. Please park as responsibly as possible as here in North Wales parking can get busy especially in the high season with nice weekends and bank holidays even busier. You can leave your vehicle key in the Instructors car during the activity.
Turning up
Please turn up 15 minutes before your activity start time to organise paperwork and get changed.
