I'm best mad at a wedding this summer and have to sort a stag do. The stag wants to go coasteering so I've got a few questions:

Where is good to do it in July? I was thinking of south wales. We're based in West Yorkshire.

Can anyone recommend a good guide? Normally I dont do guided stuff but as this is semi official and we dont have any kit it will probably be the best bet.

How big a group is too big? There will probably be between 6 and 12 of us. Half of us are cavers/climbers but the other half are all fit and ok with a bit of excitement so it should be ok to do something reasonably challenging. I'm probably the worst swimmer in the group and am keen not to drown.

Cheers

I went sea kayaking with these people

Nice set-up and people - late bar, etc. I'm no real judge but they seemed pretty competent at the kayaking thing, and the coasteering mob who were there the same weekend certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves.

we did a stag (stage?) do two years ago in April in Trearddur/Holyhead which was good, some big jumps there and I think we had a group of about 15. a google search will find the local guide name I didnt book it so dont know but they run them often

In reply to Red Rover:
There's one obvious venue for coasteering as a stage do.

I organised a stag do recently - we went with Anglesey Adventures from Porth Dafarch. I think there were about 12 of us. Lots of swimming, jumping and scrambling. The guide who lead us was pretty good. I'm a rubbish swimmer, but with a buoyancy aid managed not to drown.

ill second the presali venture lot - good fun and the guides pointec out to me the DWS climbs to have a go at too!

In reply to Red Rover:

We did this as a stag do last April (yes - the one with all the snow in it).
Good fun but unbelievably cold. Some casualties from the higher jumps. Not half as scary as the night out in Swansea that evening though....

In reply to Red Rover:
Stag do sorry! Dunno why I put stage do. Thanks for the tips I'll have a look.

In reply to Red Rover:
Good. Coasteering in south pembrokeshire, and tenby is known as the stag and hen capital of wales if you want a "lively" night out.

In reply to Red Rover:

Rock Tors at Polzeath are good.

In reply to Red Rover:

Thanks. None of us will be bothered about a pissup but somewhere nice to eat would be good.

If you opted for Anglesey you have The Oystercatcher nearby:

We were supposed to be coasteering but it was too rough so we did gorge scrambling at dinas rock instead - it was the same as coasteering but in a river. Would deffo use them again.
