We offer a range of different services and experiences for people of all ages, experiences and aspirations.
We run morning, afternoon and full day bushcraft experiences based in Teesdale and North Yorkshire to suit you. We get a bit muddy and we usually come home smelling of woodsmoke. We build shelters, we cook our lunch like our ancestors did, and we experience a world unplugged, our only connection being to each other and the forest around us. We always take a few minutes to be silent and feel the world. If the season is right we track wild animals and forage, and might even have a dip in the river. All activities are based on the needs and aspirations of the group and participants can get as involved as they like, with no pressure.
Gavin is an experienced Duke of Edinburgh leader and can provide all sorts of support for your group. He can provide training, supervision and expedition assessment for all levels up to and including Gold. Whatever you need, whether it be specific nav training or just someone local who knows the terrain, get in touch for a chat.
Teesdale and the surrounding Dales are beautiful places to visit, but some of the most beautiful spots can be daunting and inaccessible to newcomers. We can offer a guide for the day, along with transport support for up to 8 people with luggage, to help you get the most out of your holiday. Get in touch to start a conversation - all of these days are built around your aspirations and completely tailored to the individual groups.
We're based in Middleton-in-Teesdale and though we love our number 95 and 96 bus service we know getting around - particularly when you're walking sections of the Teesdale or Pennine Way with your kit or have accommodation booked - can be challenging. With our little van we can provide pick up and drop off services to help you get the most out of your time up here. Get in touch and we'll see if we can help.
Whether signing up to one of our school holiday adventure days, booking a navigation course to build your skills, looking for a guide for a day to enhance your stay in Teesdale, or needing a Duke of Edinburgh Assessor for your Gold Expedition, we many aspects of outdoor adventures!
