Course Overview
The Nuclear Fallout Challenge is an immersive team-building experience set in the Peak District, combining mental problem-solving with practical, hands-on tasks. Working under time pressure, teams must locate a hazardous waste container and collaborate to retrieve the materials needed to secure it safely.
Designed around a ‘challenge by choice’ approach, the activity allows individuals to contribute in different ways, revealing leadership, communication, and collaboration skills within the team. Teams must decide which transport device to build and how best to allocate tasks to gather the required materials.
Some challenges require the whole group, while others can be completed by smaller teams in parallel. Success depends on effective decision-making under pressure, using individual strengths, and maintaining a clear, shared strategy even when teams are working separately.
Course Outcomes
- Practice Problem-solving, leadership, and strategy
- Ensures all participants can contribute meaningfully
- Builds trust and collaboration under high-pressure scenarios
Course Information
We work with teams of 8 to 80+, from fast-growing startups to FTSE-listed businesses, NHS trusts and sports organisations. Every event is designed around your objectives - whether that's improving communication, integrating a new team, rewarding your people, or just giving everyone a brilliant day out.
All events are fully facilitated by our experienced team, fully risk-assessed, and can be adapted for mixed fitness levels. You don't need to be outdoorsy to get the most out of a Peak Events day - you just need to show up.
- We encourage car sharing and the use of Public Transport wherever feasible.
- We offer free camping kit for guests 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.
