I've just spent 2 days with Eddy and Ellis doing a mixture of coasteering and climbing and they were absolutely fantastic! We were a group of 10 (mixed ability) and they accommodated to all of us very patiently and professionally. We all had so much fun, would recommend to anyone!

I've known Eddy for a number of years and would put my life in his more than capable hands. I took a bunch of friends down to Dancing Ledge to be guided around the coast. We had a truly amazing time (I knew we would). Challenged from the off I WILL be going back for more in 2017. Thank you Eddy.
