  • If you travel abroad to abseil as a participant, team or instructor, you can add worldwide cover to your abseiling insurance policy. This provides the same level of cover for abseiling overseas as in the UK. It is different from a standard travel insurance policy that covers for you things like cancelled or delayed flights, so should not be used as a replacement.
