I came across this article by Katy Holland in The Independant on Sunday this morning and thought it was super blogworthy!
Are We There Yet? May I suggest you go and jump off a cliff?
If you’re in search of inspiration for a family adventure this year, may I suggest you go and jump off a cliff?
I don’t mean to be rude, but it’s fast becoming the activity for families looking for thrills – otherwise known as coasteering – and is taking place right now at rocky outlets across the country.
The theory is that hurling yourself en famille from precipices, sliding over slippery rocks and splashing around in freezing water is enjoyable – bonding, even. You simply explore the shore by whatever means necessary: jumping, swimming, slithering, abseiling and scrambling your way along otherwise inaccessible parts of some of the UK’s most beautiful coastlines.
But before you come over all health and safety on me, it can be done only with qualified instructors, and with the proper safety gear: hard helmets, wetsuits, buoyancy aids, etc. Oh, and it’s not usually suitable for children under 12, although some of the more family-friendly companies will organise special courses for youngsters. As my 14-year-old puts it: “You get to do everything you’re not usually allowed to do.”
Not surprising, then, that coasteering looks set to blow all those boring old kids’ activities like sailing and surfing out of the water. Mark Handford, director or Snowdonia Adventures says youngsters are increasingly keen to give it a go. “Over the past year, we’ve noticed a rising number of families inquiring about our courses. It’s an ideal activity for a short break for families.”
After all, it’s not every day you can tell the kids to take a running jump…

11am Fri 31st Dec 2010.
A couple of adventurous families decided to say goodbye to 2010 in style.
No rain, snow or wind made for great conditions. With winter steamer wetsuits, neoprene wetsuit gloves, hoods, socks and for some cag jackets we didn’t feel the cold. I reckon the frequent hot chocolate stops kept us warm from the inside out.
The water looked super inviting, almost flat calm (the boys were caught out by the occasional wave), clear blue sea with stunning views. The added bonus was we had it all to ourselves.
We ventured out along the rocky shore, jumping swimming, scrambling, occassionaly falling (gravity can work against even the most determined Climber). Some braved the top jumps while others were happy to perfect their bomb technique.
More photos from todays adventure can be found on our Facebook page
Thanks to our 2010 clients, without you Jordan and I might have to get that dreaded propper job (sorry mum, not this year).
Wishing you a Happy New Year,
Cleopatra & the Celtic Quest team
