Crate Stacking at QCW (Self Led)

We have 30+ heavy duty plastic crates that can be used for crate stacking/climbing. Please note this is a hire of equipment only and the activity is self led. You will require your own instructor who is competent enough to confidently both set this activity up and run it.
