Coasteering, Pembrokeshire, Wales

The original extreme sport of the Welsh coast asks a simple question at increasing heights: will you jump? Between leaps you traverse barnacled rock at sea level, ride swells into gullies and haul out through whitewater, all in thick wetsuits that make the Atlantic almost cosy. Operators around St Davids run sessions from around age eight upwards, April to October, with every jump strictly optional. Confidence in the water matters more than fitness. The last ledge is always higher than it looked.
