Do you run family activities?
Yes, climbing, caving, biking and hiking days for families, tailored to your group and planned around where you're staying. Our staff have worked with families and children for over 20 years.
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 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 should I wear?
Come dressed for a day outdoors in changeable weather, and bring the clothing and equipment listed in your pre-course information, you're responsible for having appropriate kit. If you need anything, our shop at The Adventure Hub (adventure-hub.com) stocks navigation, climbing and outdoor essentials.
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.
