Abseiling

Abseiling can be covered as part of a climbing or caving course, but some groups prefer to arrange a session dedicated solely to abseiling. Abseiling plays a major role in modern day caving – SRT [single rope techniques] courses can be arranged at all levels, using fully qualified and experienced staff [see 'Caving and potholing'].

Canoeing and kayaking

Do you enjoy a quiet paddle, or possibly something a little more challenging? We can give you the practical skills to achieve both confidence and competence on the water. Courses can be arranged to suit most levels of ability. We cater for individuals or groups, and have a successful track record with schools, scouts' organisations and youth groups throughout the UK.

Caving and potholing

Courses can be arranged at all levels, from novice to advanced SRT as well as self-rescue. Individuals and clubs wishing to improve their techniques can be catered for, as can schools and youth groups requiring 'taster' sessions.

Climbing

Our climbing courses tend to operate in the Peak District, but we are licensed to operate throughout the UK. We can provide introductory courses for groups or individuals (indoors and outdoors), in addition to multi-pitch climbing for the more experienced participant.

Expeditions

If you need advice on planning an expedition in the UK (or abroad), we can help you. If your school or college requires guidance on organising a Duke of Edinburgh Expedition, we can help them. Our staff have many years of experience in planning, organising and supervising these events.

Hill walking

If you are new to the outdoors, or perhaps have some knowledge and would like to progress to more adventurous terrain, we can help you to reach your goals in safety. We have experience of trekking and mountaineering throughout the UK, in addition to many far-flung parts of the globe.

Mountaineering

Perhaps you are already an experienced hill walker, and would like to progress to something a little more challenging? Maybe you have planned an overseas adventure, and want to improve your level of skills or fitness beforehand? Our 'mountain' staff are fully qualified, with practical experience that has been well-earned during participation in expeditions to mountain ranges across most of the world's continents.

Navigation

Do you need to improve your map reading skills? Whatever your ultimate goal - be it a Duke of Edinburgh Expedition, a walk in the Peak District, or a trip to the Himalayas - we can provide practical instruction to groups or individuals.
