Activites
Mountain Days
The British mountains, though not overly big, can offer some fantastic days out and our intimate knowledge of the Lakeland fells allows us to take you on some of the less frequented routes. Most of our team have extensive experience competing, supporting or navigating on some of the country’s toughest ultra distance challenges and as such can offer advice on all aspects of a mountain trip. We are happy to discuss training schedules, kit requirements or to, frankly, natter – so call or email, we are always pleased to chat.
We can offer days walking, running, scrambling or climbing. Our services are ultimately flexible and we are happy to design days to suit your requirements – rather than our own.
We can offer days on linear routes with a support vehicle – enabling us to cover a much greater distance, or circular routes round some of the country’s finest horseshoes. Our aim is to provide a positive experience from which you can take everlasting memories that will bring you back for more.
Rock Climbing & Abseiling
Ever thought of trying this amazing sport?
We can introduce you to the world of rock climbing at any number of single pitch venues – providing coaching and tuition which will not only help you get to the top of the crag but is of enormous benefit in the realms of confidence and team building.
For those who crave the faster buzz of abseiling, we can teach you the basic skills at one of our local easy venues before progressing to bigger and ultimately free hanging abseils. Do you fancy, perhaps, a 150’ free hang over water on a summer’s evening?!
We can organise rock climbing or abseiling venues for full, half day or evening trips. All safety equipment is supplied, all you need is a pair of trainers and a bag full of enthusiasm – we will supply the rest!
Caving
For those looking for a little more adventure – have you considered caving?!
We can organise a multitude of trips for the discerning adventurer – from easy novice days for the first time speleologist to more challenging trips for the more experienced troglodyte. Let us show you some of the country’s best guarded secrets and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime!
A visit to the Ribblehead area can be a great introduction to this fascinating pastime. The Thistle and Runcar systems offering horizontal caving suitable for the first time caver of whatever age and after building your confidence, a through trip of the Roger Kirk system with its infamous tube, should be a suitable test with which to end the day.
The popular caves around Alum Pot can give a superb introduction to caving with a vertical element, requiring an early start to beat the crowds, but the awesome main shaft more than makes up for it. A must for any aspiring cave explorer.
The list of possible subterranean trips is nearly as big as your imagination with careful progression as experience is gained – then harder and more demanding systems can be tackled.
We can organise full days underground in some fascinating systems, or an evening’s introduction to SRT (Single Rope Technique). Our aim is to deliver a service tailored to your needs.
We will supply all safety equipment, lights etc. All you need is suitable clothing, lots of enthusiasm and an open mind. We can tempt most people underground given the opportunity and most surprise themselves with how much they enjoy it. Just don’t forget a change of clothing...you will get wet!
