ADVENTURE.
The Adventure Programme is more techically demanding activities, in wild and distant locations with potentially challenging weather, these are usually led by Dave Hopwood assisted in the field by highly qualified leaders and backed up by Diane or Mike as qualified base contact support. there is a raft of extended safety practices including remote check in, digial location reporting or satellite tracking, and our incident procedures that include use of minibus and driver support.
Teesoutdoors runs specialist bespoke adventures for youth and adult groups these are underpinned by our HSE Adventure activities licence.
These activities are usually led by Dave Hopwood, assisted by Diane and a select core of highly qualified coaches. We focus on getting to know individuals in small groups and focus on coaching and skills development.
We have a very high staff to participant ratio often 1:4 always below 1:8 and with 2 or 3 leaders per group means these progammes are normally limited to 16 people.
