Capture the Flag

YOUR CAPTURE THE FLAG EVENT

9:30 - 16:30 (or times to suit your schedule)

ARRIVE AT THE ADVENTURE HUB OR MEET IN THE HILLS

We can meet at the Adventure Hub where your instructors will welcome you and discuss the day over a great cup of fresh Italian coffee or tea. Alternatively If it suits your itinerary we can meet you at a predefined location at a time to suit you.

COLLECT AND CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT

You will be sized up for helmets, rock shoes and harnesses. All you need to do is check your clothing is suitable for the conditions and that your rucksack has snacks and drinks packed.

TRAVEL TO ACTIVITY LOCATION

Typically this is a 15 minute drive from The Adventure Hub.

CAPTURE THE FLAG

Each team is given just 60 seconds to choose 'useful items' from a wide and weird selection before being handed maps and the first clue. From here the race is on as each team heads off in a different direction to their first challenge.

On route you will venture up, down and over the crags, through narrow caves, across moors, rivers and marshes. Each activity completed gives more clues that will be vital to your success. If you arrive at the final destination with all the clues in hand then Champagne and cheers are just one puzzle away. Solve it quickly though because the other teams will be hot on your heels.

BACK TO THE ADVENTURE HUB OR ONWARD TO YOUR NEXT EVENT

Once we are finished and debriefed we will return to the vehicles and either to The Adventure Hub for coffee or send you on your way for the evenings entertainment.

• Our well-equipped training centre, The Adventure Hub, is Carbon Neutral.
• We encourage car sharing wherever feasible.
• We encourage the use of public transport on all our courses. Bamford Railway Station is 5 minutes' walk and we enjoy direct bus connections to Sheffield and nearby villages.
• We offer free camping kit for guests staying locally and looking to cut down on luggage.
• Our staff are trained to prolong the life of equipment used on this course, where it is possible to recycle equipment at the end of its life, we do so appropriately.
• We operate in small teams at low ratios to reduce our impact on the venues we use and other countryside users.

• The physical and mental benefits of outdoor activities are numerous and well documented, we firmly believe that those benefits should be available to as many people as possible.

• If you are interested in experiencing any of our activities but feel unable to do so then please contact us to discuss your specific needs, we will always try to find a solution that works for you.

• There are a range of simple adaptions we can make to our scheduled courses such as choosing venues with minimal walking or easy access to toilet facilities, providing cold storage facilities for temperature sensitive medications, allowing additional time or arranging for participants to be accompanied by a trusted aide.

• When participation as part of an open group isn't appropriate we can arrange private tuition. This allows for a more tailored approach and a much wider range of adaptions such as assisted climbing and abseiling techniques for participants with significant physical or mobility issues.

• If private tuition is unaffordable then we can sometimes offer subsidised places to bring the price back in line with our scheduled courses .These are provided by the Pure Outdoor Foundation whose goal is to bring as many people as possible into the outdoors, please enquire about availability.

• Clear communication before the activity is crucial so, as well as telephone and email conversations, we can also arrange to meet participants directly at a venue days or weeks beforehand to identify any specific barriers and begin addressing any anxieties.
