Rock UK Summit Centre Residentials
Our brand new Summit Centre opened in June 2018 following a £4m refurbishment, supported by EU funds. Located in the heart of the Welsh Valleys and overlooked by beautiful hills and woodland. The residential centre boasts stunning indoor climbing walls, bouldering, group accommodation, a cafe, outdoor play area, a man-made caving system, Aerial Adventure course and over 20 instructed activities.
From caving to canoeing to archery and bushcraft. Summit Centre is a great choice for residential breaks for school and youth groups.
Caving Off Site at Rock UK Summit Centre
Off site caving takes groups on a journey underground the hills and mountains of the South Wales Valleys. This unique experience will develop teamwork and communication as the group explore tight squeezes, large caverns and water features running underground. rockuk.org/summit

Phil Cheeseman Sport Climbing the Double Overhang at Summit Centre
A video of Phil Cheeseman sport climbing the double overhang at Rock UKs Summit centre. The route is around 17m (55ft) high and overhangs by 8m (26ft), the entire route is 26m (85ft) long. The technical grade is 6C; this is a work in progress, it absolutely destroys your forearms. Next time I will make it without the fall.

Blue Bouldering Problem at Boulders, Cardiff
I miss climbing but since Boulders in cardiff has turned into a fucking creche there's no way I'm paying to climb there. I highly recommend The Summit Centre in Trelewis, it's about 20 minutes from Cardiff, and whilst being cheaper, has far more interesting lead routes.
The Big Pitch 2011
An innovative approach to encouraging Further Education students, in the Valleys, to generate ideas for the Rock UK outdoor activity centre, near Trelewis and how to market the enhanced offers. Came in the top three of the 'Quality Partnerships' category of the 2012 Colleges Wales Awards.
Bouldering in Berchtesgaden; taking on a competition purple and getting spat off.
Tackling a V3/V4 (at a guess) indoor route. Won't be getting any presenting jobs anytime soon.
Thank you for watching! If there's anything in particular that you'd like me to film/chat about in future videos please do let me know!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Wales (Welsh: Cymru [ˈkəmri] (listen)) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom and the island of Great Britain. It is bordered by England to the east, the Irish Sea to the north and west, and the Bristol Channel to the south. It had a population in 2011 of 3,063,456 and has a total area of 20,779 km2 (8,023 sq mi). Wales has over 1,680 miles (2,700 km) of coastline and is largely mountainous, with its higher peaks in the north and central areas, including Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), its highest summit. The country lies within the north temperate zone and has a changeable, maritime climate.
Welsh national identity emerged among the Britons after the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century, and Wales is regarded as one of the modern Celtic nations. Llywelyn ap Gruffudd's death in 1282 marked the completion of Edward I of England's conquest of Wales, though Owain Glyndŵr briefly restored independence to Wales in the early 15th century. The whole of Wales was annexed by England and incorporated within the English legal system under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542. Distinctive Welsh politics developed in the 19th century. Welsh liberalism, exemplified in the early 20th century by Lloyd George, was displaced by the growth of socialism and the Labour Party. Welsh national feeling grew over the century; Plaid Cymru was formed in 1925 and the Welsh Language Society in 1962. Established under the Government of Wales Act 1998, the National Assembly for Wales holds responsibility for a range of devolved policy matters.
At the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, development of the mining and metallurgical industries transformed the country from an agricultural society into an industrial nation; the South Wales Coalfield's exploitation caused a rapid expansion of Wales' population. Two-thirds of the population live in South Wales, including Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and the nearby valleys. Now that the country's traditional extractive and heavy industries have gone or are in decline, Wales' economy depends on the public sector, light and service industries and tourism.
Although Wales closely shares its political and social history with the rest of Great Britain, and a majority of the population in most areas speaks English as a first language, the country has retained a distinct cultural identity and is officially bilingual. Over 560,000 Welsh language speakers live in Wales, and the language is spoken by a majority of the population in parts of the north and west. From the late 19th century onwards, Wales acquired its popular image as the land of song, in part due to the eisteddfod tradition. At many international sporting events, such as the FIFA World Cup, Rugby World Cup and the Commonwealth Games, Wales has its own national teams, though at the Olympic Games, Welsh athletes compete as part of a Great Britain team. Rugby union is seen as a symbol of Welsh identity and an expression of national consciousness.
