Dewerstone Challenge

River Crossing ExerciseClimbingTeam ExerciseTeam PuzzleSquirrel

This challenge involves two teams navigating through a series of locations. At each location the team must complete a team exercise or challenge before obtaining a clue to the next location. At the last location after completing an activity the team find a hidden prize.

This day is mainly team orientated but with a chance for all the participants to practice leadership, as this role is rotated around the team during the day. This also makes The Dewerstone Challenge a good one off team building day.

The challenge is normally run with two teams of between 4 and 8 people. Both teams start at the same time and initially have different routes.

The first task is a team exercise where the team have to recover an oblect from a designated area that they cannot enter. They must use the equipment provided to remotely lift the object out of the area.

After completeing this exercise they are given a clue to the next location, which is either a blindfold climb challenge

or a river crossing exercise.

When the teams complete these tasks they swap over and complete the two tasks that the other team have just completed..

The group can now meet and have lunch together before continuing the rest of the Dewerstone Challenge.

The next task is to recover a container from a pipe. This is a simple and possibly wet team exercise. The teams then navigate their way via a bridge and tunnel to the finale of the day, The Hundred Foot Abseil.
