Book ahead

Peak weekends sell out — do not assume walk-up

Fitness

Ask about height, weight and medical limits

What to know

Age and weight limits, wet-weather policy, whether kit is included, and how far the site is from Newport centre.

Bank holidays and school breaks sell out — book ahead rather than assuming walk-up places.

Cadw castles and National Trust properties are worth visiting — book tickets on their own sites; they are separate from adventure operators.

Is insurance included?: Ask the operator. Confirm what is covered before you pay.
What if the weather is bad?: Operators set their own cancel/reschedule rules. Read them before you pay a deposit.
