🕳️ Tunnels

Crawl, Explore & Take on the Challenge

Tunnel sessions at Frylands Wood take place in our purpose-built tunnel system, located next to the assault course.

Tunnelling is a fun, accessible introduction to underground exploration and is often described as a simpler, man-made version of potholing. Participants crawl through the tunnel network to reach checkpoints, complete challenges or simply explore the twisting passages – with or without torches for an extra adventure.

For safety, participants wear Petzl Panga helmets during the activity. Information about this equipment can be found in the equipment bag.

A Fun Adventure Activity

Tunnelling encourages participants to:

  • Build confidence and resilience
  • Develop problem-solving and navigation skills
  • Work together and support each other
  • Explore and challenge themselves in a safe environment

The tunnels provide an exciting experience that combines adventure, exploration and teamwork.

Self-Led Activity

Tunnel sessions are usually run as a self-led activity, allowing groups to complete the experience at their own pace.

Before starting the activity, group leaders must:

  • Read, understand and sign the relevant Conditions of Use documentation
  • Ensure participants are supervised appropriately
  • Manage participant behaviour throughout the session

Our staff are always happy to explain how the activity works and help you get the most from your session.
