A man hopes to save an adventure base in Nottingham by restoring the site back to its former glory. For decades the Arches Adventure Base under Lady Bay Bridge, Nottingham, has been used for adventure sports and could now be restored for bouldering, kayaking and paddle boarding.
The West Bridgford based company, Mock Rock, has taken over a five-year lease for the arches in addition to a building and yard tucked away underneath the bridge. Director, Ben Hunter, says the company hopes to restore the site and open facilities there next year.
Ben has been installing climbing walls for more than 20 years and works with a group of rock sculptors, artists and carpenters. He hopes to create a vibrant space under the bridges similar to what has been done at the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.
