Orienteering

Orienteering is an extremely rewarding outdoor activity for those who love adventure; challenging their powers of navigation and decision making. It's a great way for groups to build trust, learn to delegate tasks and take calculative risks. Your group is first guided through a discussion about what they hope to gain from the experience before covering the concepts of sharing resources and knowledge. Next, you'll divide into groups to learn either how to read a compass and choose a bearing, interpret a topographical map, or use your paces to determine distance.

Teams are then formed, combining at least one map reader, one compass reader and one distance pace setter. Next you will receive your course and then work independently to follow clues from the map and discover control markers hidden off the main trail.

Together, you will learn that teams often have to chart 'new territory' whether in a natural or a work environment.

Assault Course 

Test your team's skills as you balance, scramble, swing, crawl and climb over a serious of obstacles under the watchful eye of military physical training instructors. Teams must work together to overcome the scamble net, Burma bridge, rope swings, a steep wall and much more. Every member of the team must complete each element before the team can move on.

Support and encouragement are needed throughout as these courses are designed to test you mentally and physically as well as your team's ability to work together. It's an incredibly rewarding way of getting dirty.

Hadrian's Wall 

In 112 AD, the Emperor Hadrian ordered that a fortified wall was to be constructed to mark the northern boundary of Roman Britain to keep out the Barbarians. The wall origianlly ran from coast to coast for 72 miles, today there are sections of the famous landmark still standing, cuting through northumberland national park. Treks, with team building activites en-route and camping overnight is an unfogettable experience. Walking for 6-7 hours a day with tea and cake stops, the entire length will take 5 days.

Three Peaks

The Three Peaks Challenge - covering the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales - Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, can take 24 hours for those who are driven and determined, or 36 hours for more relaxed groups, in some of the most dramatic scenery in the world.

Coast-to-Coast

From St. Bees Head (Cumbria) to Robin Hood's Bay (North Yorkshire Moors), the 172 mile route across England is one of the most famous and spectacular journeys in Britain. Cycling and walking,navigating and planning, getting to know each other on the daytime route and the evening pubs and hotels, the Coast-to-Coast challenge is perfect for team building.
