What group activities does Pure Outdoor run in the Peak District?
Pure Outdoor runs team building, stag do activities, hen do activities, schools & youth groups, families, charities and challenge events, planned around your group and led by qualified instructors from our base at The Adventure Hub in Bamford, Hope Valley.
Can I book a private instructor?
Yes. Any of our courses can be run privately, or we can plan a bespoke adventure for you, ideal if you have limited time but big ambitions. We work with individuals, couples and groups.
Can you run a course that isn't on the website?
Yes, that's something we specialise in. Get in touch with what you want to achieve and we'll tailor an itinerary to suit your requirements.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Pure Outdoor holds an AALA licence (R2331), public liability insurance up to £10 million, professional indemnity and employers' liability insurance. These are audited annually, along with our risk assessments and operating procedures, which are available on request.
Are your instructors qualified?
Yes. Our staff hold the relevant national governing body qualification or equivalent, have excellent local knowledge and take part in an annual training programme and ongoing CPD. Staff working with schools and young people hold current DBS checks where needed.
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 equipment is provided?
We supply all technical and safety equipment except climbing shoes. On navigation and hillwalking courses we ask you to bring your own map and compass. Check the kit list in your course information and get in touch if you can't get something you need.
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.
Where can I stay nearby?
There's lots of choice within a few miles: B&Bs and a leisure hotel in Bamford, a campsite right next to The Adventure Hub, the YHA, inns and cottages in Hathersage, and more options in Hope, Bradwell, Castleton and Edale. See our Accommodation Guide for details and links.
