Can I hire climbing shoes?
Yes, rock shoes can be hired on the day if you're on a climbing course.
What are the age limits?
From 13 years old, you can book onto our standard courses open to the public. Children aged 4-12 can take part through private bookings or tuition, with or without parents, by arrangement with our team. We're licensed by the Adventure Activities Licensing Service to work with under 18s.
How fit do I need to be?
Arriving fit and well helps you get the most from your course, and courses involve walking over rough and sometimes steep ground. Because we take a personal approach, we're happy to talk through your experience and fitness and advise on the right course for you.
What if the weather is bad?
Our courses run in a range of weather, that's part of learning in the UK hills, so come prepared for the conditions. If the weather is genuinely dangerous we may modify or cancel a session, in which case you'll be offered a refund or an alternative date.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations must be made in writing (email is fine). Charges are based on the original course start date: more than 4 weeks before, 25% of the total course fee; between 4 and 2 weeks before, 75%; within 2 weeks, 100%. As courses run on fixed dates, the statutory 14-day cooling-off period doesn't apply.
How do gift vouchers work?
Buy a cash-value e-voucher in £10 steps (e.g. 10 x £10 for a £100 voucher), or buy a specific course as a voucher using 'Buy as a gift' on its course page. E-vouchers arrive instantly by email, ready to print or forward, and can be redeemed against any Pure Outdoor course.
