Outdoor Activities
We
provide outdoor activities in Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean,
Herefordshire, and the Wye Valley as well as Wales and the Brecon
Beacons. But we are more than just outdoor activities, we use life coaching and
NLP during our activities to make a real difference. We can
offer your party climbing, abseiling and canoeing in the Wye Valley
or for something different go
gorge walking in Wales and Herefordshire,
survival training in Gloucestershire or raft building in the Forest of Dean.
Our
outdoor activities are
all about:
- Understanding yourselves
in an outdoor environment.
-
Setting
your own
challenges and goals.
-
Exploring
your own
emotions and feelings in a supportive environment.
-
Learning
about what makes you tick as an individual and in a
team.
-
And
above
all it's about having fun.
If
you need accommodation as well as outdoor activities for your party
then use the link above to find group accommodation and bed and
breakfast.
Hen
parties and stag parties are all catered for and if outdoor
activities seem a bit too strenuous then we can organise a Team
Challenge Day for your party, click on the Stag Parties / Hen Parties
link for more information.
Outdoor activities such as climbing, abseiling and gorge walking
need you to be reasonably mobile, but canoeing, survival training,
raft building and Team Challenge are outdoor activities that can be done by anyone of any age.
We can tailor all our outdoor activities to suit your party
so if you want to have a day of climbing and survival training
or gorge walking and abseiling then it is no problem. Have a
look at all of the outdoor activities on the site and do feel free to contact me
if you have any queries.
If
you already know which outdoor activity that you want for your group
then just click on the links above for more details, but if you are
not too sure about which activity would suit your group there is a
brief description of each activity below to help you out. Don't
forget we can mix and match any of these activities to give you and
your party the type of adventure that you want.
We
have one of the most popular climbing
areas in the country right on our doorstep at Symonds Yat, so if you
fancy climbing up real rock or learning how to abseil down cliffs
then this is a great activity for you and your group. All our
climbing instructors are highly experienced and are chosen as much
for their caring attitude as for
their ability to get the most out of a group. You need to be
reasonably mobile to go rock climbing but you can abseil at any age
and ability.
Gorge
walking is the ultimate in outdoor thrills. At its simplest it
involves you and your group scrambling up a river usually in a steep
gorge. It is a great team activity as everybody has to help each
other to overcome the natural obstacles that they come across. These
can range from crawling under fallen trees, climbing up small
waterfalls or jumping into deep pools. There is always a place for
you to do an abseil as well and this just adds to the fun. It is a
really popular activity with Hen parties and Stag Parties as well as
any well motivated group. If you want some real fun in the outdoors
try this activity.
Team
Challenge is a great choice if you and your group want to do
something really fun together but don't want to do traditional
outdoor activities. It takes place in and around your accommodation
so you don't have to travel anywhere. Your group is split into teams
who then try to get as many points as possible by completing games,
challenges and puzzles. It's fantastic fun and everybody has a
skill that the team can use as there are a huge range of games,
puzzles and challenges to choose from. This is the most popular
activity for hen parties as it is a great bonding experience.
If
you fancy canoeing then we can take your group down the River Wye
for a half day or a full day with a stop for lunch at Symonds Yat.
It runs through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is easy
paddling with a few rapids to keep things exciting. We will also
teach you how to paddle the two person canoes and play a load of
games along the way.
This
is a great introduction for complete novices or those of a delicate
disposition (EG hung-over).

Most
people avoid caving but they would be missing a fantastic
experience. All the caves we use have large entrances and you always
have a choice of the size of holes that you want to go down. It is a
fantastic team building activity and can be a great opportunity for
different members of the group to shine. If you want to try
something really different come and see what caving is all about.
A
really fun event with
no skill or ability needed. You are given all the equipment,
instruction and encouragement you need and then its up to you. Just
build your raft, launch it and then hopefully paddle it around the
lake before it breaks up. It's a great team building/bonding
event for all ages, and abilities so if you are after a fantastic
time with your party then try raft building.
 Survival
Training
If
you want to try something completely different then book up your
group for a survival training session. You will learn to light
fires, forage for wild food, prepare wild game and cook it. You will
also learn to build your own shelter and how to survive out in the
woods.
