Spitfire Down: 1 or 2 day weekender
July 1, 2011
Designed to give groups and corporate clients a fun team-building challenge in a ʻGreat Escapeʼ context.
Ever wanted to pit your wits against hunting patrols with only an escape map and button compass? For group bookings we run a WW2 evasion gauntlet for your team with chance to be the hunter or hunted through a remote private estate in central Cornwall. For team building with a difference, look no further.
