XUK English will not be running in 2021 due to the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19 and travel restrictions. We intend to run XUK Activity this summer and hope XUK English will be back in 2022.
Optional extras are activities at XUK English that are a bit different and completely optional. It is always great to unwind and do something different, especially after a great morning of learning in the English lessons.
We have two fantastic choices...
The Wye Valley is Canoe and Kayak Country!
We paddle the most scenic stretches of the river, from placid water to turbulent rapids. Your trusted instructor will brief you on kayak/canoe control, and safety procedures.
You will be taught flat water skills and moving water techniques, all combined with a lot of fun and games!
We use natural rock outcrops for all our climbing in a recognised area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a backdrop of broad-leafed woodland and the River Wye, hosted at the famous Symonds Yat Rock!
The climbing routes we use range from 10 metres in height for beginners to higher and more difficult routes for the more advanced.
