Coasteering in Pembrokeshire
The sections of the
north Pembrokeshire coast that we have on our doorstep are just
perfect for the adrenalin packed adventure sport of coasteering,
with the emphasis on cliff jumping, climbing, rock gully swimming,
cave exploration, rock scrambling, and wave riding varying depending
on tide, weather, swell and location - no two coasteers are ever
the same.
Coasteering has its
origins in the late 19th century and historically has been used
as an alternative description for sea-level traversing. Now in
the 21st century it's proving to be THE ultimate coastal
adventure with a unique combination of rock, water, waves
and Pembrokeshire wildlife.
We'll equip you with
toasty warm winter wet-suits all year round and wetsuit gloves
and socks to keep your fingers and toes snuggly, we coasteer all
through the year so we make sure you are warm and comfy at all
times. You'll also be provided with helmets, floatation
jackets, and a qualified guide who knows their stuff.
Our qualified coasteering
guides will take you out to the best untouched and rugged wilderness
locations on the stunning North Pembrokeshire coastline, all within
a 15 minute drive of the Preseli Venture lodge. We're continually
developing our own new coasteering routes where you'll enjoy
the seclusion and awe inspiring nature of the coastline with no
viewsof towns, caravan parks, and no other people; just beautiful,
clean, unsullied wilderness, brimming with seals, sea birds, idyllic
coves, sandy beaches and rocky headlands.

Coasteering
also has secret health-giving properties from the power and zest of sea water and its components.
Thalassotherapy,
from the Greek word thalassa meaning sea, is rapidly
becoming one of the most popular health and beauty treatments.
Purifying, curative, rejuvenating and relaxing marine therapies
are now in demand at upmarket spas and salons around the world.
Although utilizing the power of the sea to restore body and soul
has a long history, it is only since the 1960s that this has been
scientifically studied. It is the close affinity between the constituents
of sea water and our own blood and the fact that the active ingredients
can be absorbed through the skin by the process of osmosis, that
makes sea water therapies so effective.
Seawater
contains calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and copper, and this rich
cocktail of minerals and vitamins has a powerful detoxifying effect
and can help arthritis, rheumatism and blood circulation disorders.
These marine goodies can also re-mineralise the body, boost circulation,
reduce water retention and stimulate the metabolism.
True
thalassotherapy spas use clean sea water directfrom the sea.
Treatments can then include the 'blitz hose', where strong jets
of water are directed at key points on the body, and the 'blitz
shower' where you simply walk through a corridor of water. There
are also thalassa baths where jets of water act to massage parts
of the body while you are submerged.
If
the above thalassotherapy treatments sound familiar, then yes,
you got it, it's just what happens to you and your body when you
go coasteering. So never mind the spa, come coasteering, it's a whole load more fun and exciting - and it'll do
you more good than you ever imagined...
