We operate on a variety of environments, from small rivers to moving water and out in the open sea. We focus on your needs and interests and coach you in the craft of your choice. Our venues encompass sheltered, moderate or exposed water - so you can pick the correct level for you.
Our Personal Performance Skills and Leadership workshops cover many environments and you can work towards a range of assessments on our activity skills days or on a full expedition.
The Guide programme, led by Endorsed Guide David Hopwood is open to all and offers a long term leader development & support package.
We use a blend of online research and practical experience to support your journey.
Hills, moors and mountains
We have a range of personal skills development and leadership options on land too. These include activity skills training and leadership and of course our favourite, expeditions.
