Rock climbing is both a thrilling and dangerous sport. Whether you're climbing the man made walls at an indoor rock climbing centre, or out in the wilds climbing the best that nature has to offer, you need the right clothing and the right padding. Elbow and knee pads are particularly useful, especially if you're a novice making your first climb on real rock.

One sport that doesn't receive a lot of publicity is that of caving. In the UK, there are a lot of caving groups and a lot of caves just waiting to be explored. Caving is different to many other sports - it is done underground and often in dark, cold, and damp conditions.

One of the most famous landmarks in the UK is the Hadrian's Wall. For a real touch of the past, you can hike and camp along the 84 mile Hadrian's Wall Path. This takes you across the border country where you can experience some of the most breathaking scenery around.
