We did a day of outdoor bouldering with Pure Outdoor. Our instructor Joe was absolutely brilliant. He really took the time to understand what we were looking to get out of the day and tailored it to suit us and our ability level. He was very friendly and easy to get along and gave plenty of encouragement. As well as giving first class instruction, he made the day fun and enjoyable. One aspect I particularly liked was the attitude towards ethical climbing outdoors, good etiquette, respecting the environment and preserving the rock. I would definitely recommend and look forward to doing more courses with them in the future.

My son and I booked a climbing day. Our guide was Oli. Believe me I could go on and on (and on) about how good the day turned out. Professional, if you put your loved ones safety in the hands of a stranger it really is reassuring if they are clearly professional. That's a big green tick! Friendly. Another tick. Good value. Tick. And the last test, would you do the day again... Tick! Thanks Oli and Pure Outdoor.

Chris SStanage Edge Climbing · September 2025

Loved it and learnt so much. Excellent, tailored, expert instruction for three improving climbers learning to lead climb. The instructor, James, was a brilliant communicator and teacher with clear expertise and passion for climbing.

David PLearn to Lead Climb · August 2024

The caving course with Chris was brilliant. A nice mix of confidence building routes for 5 hours underground. Chris shared his experiences and knowledge of the geology of the cave system. Will return next time with the wife and kids.

Graham JCaving Course · June 2025

We've just done a beginners caving day, it was absolutely amazing! Chris was brilliant, having such an experienced leader was very reassuring and meant we could push ourselves out of our comfort zone whilst knowing we were in safe hands. We loved it, we'll be coming back and we'll be requesting Chris when we do!

Axle NevBeginners Caving Day · May 2025

Excellent experience on the Introductory Caving course. A very different but highly enjoyable day crawling, walking, squeezing and climbing over, under and between rocks. Led by Chris this was a fantastic way to explore what's under your feet in Derbyshire. Chris was an excellent guide, always encouraging, guiding us through the caves and puddles. He was very informative and also entertaining with his wealth of stories about caving exploits. It was hard work and muscles ached the following day. Highly recommend.

BedsAndFoodIntroductory Caving Course · July 2024

Great course for someone who had no idea how to use a compass and read an ordnance survey map. Rick was welcoming from my arrival, as were the other course attendees. He went through all what we would be doing during the day, allowing time for questions before we went off on to the moors to use the techniques he had taught us. During the whole day Rick was professional, so knowledgeable and also had the patience of a saint. The views when we reached the highest point were stunning, with carpets of purple as far as the eye could see of heather. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and learnt so much, would definitely recommend.

JWRight Way in a Day · August 2023

I recently attended the NNAS Silver navigation course at Pure Outdoor. I wanted to improve my navigation and this seemed to be the right course. The course was excellent, excellently led by Paul who fostered a very positive attitude to learning and a great group dynamic. I came away having fulfilled my personal objectives from the course. I will definitely be going back for another course with Pure Outdoor.

BootieNNAS Silver Navigation · August 2023

I did the 2 day Navigation Course with my wife, which was money and time very well spent. Stephen, our instructor, somehow gave us skills and confidence in navigation which is a testimony to his teaching. More than that I was enriched by his knowledge and the whole experience. I have struggled to read OS maps for years but now, following this course, I can't wait to get the OS map for a nearby area and get out there to navigate my way through the countryside. I cannot commend the Navigation Course enough.

Mike H2-Day Navigation Course · September 2023

I had an amazing one-day mountain biking experience. The day was very well organised, with all necessary information sent to me in advance and prompt responses to my questions from Pure Outdoor. The staff were very kind and helpful. On the day, the technical guidance provided by instructor Mark was extremely valuable, and the bike route was planned through the beautiful scenery of the Peak District. I highly recommend this experience.

Edyta KMountain Bike Day · May 2025

Great day out with Adam as our guide and instructor. He spent time with us before our ride to assess what we wanted to achieve from the day. We started going back to basics, looking at ride position, weight transference and cornering. A session on Hope pump track preceded an awesome ride around the Upper Derwent, where we broke off at intervals to practice the skills learned. Adam was the perfect instructor, very friendly and with an easy manner that put us very much at ease, whilst still being extremely professional and imparting his extensive knowledge in a clear and understandable way. The whole day was the perfect mix of pleasure and challenge!
