Adventure Breaks and Courses for Women

Join us for a getaway week of adventure sport. These weeks are escapism in the great outdoors, a break from the demands of your life. By getting involved in outdoor adventure you will gain greater determintaion and confidence through facing new kinds of challenges; you will feel healthier and fitter by being active and by filling your lungs with lots of clean fresh air; you will be giving your self the time to try new experiences which may kick start your life.

The Adventure Week

A multi-activity week including canoeing, kayaking, climbing, walking and an expedition of your choice. Boost your health and fitness with this invigorating week of adventure sports in the stunning setting of Dartmoor and the Cornish Coast.

Climbing Week

A great introduction to climbing outside. Spend a week learning to climb on Dartmoor and the stunning Cornish sea cliffs. It will be a physically and mentally challenging experience that will not only develop your climbing skills but your confidence and sense of achievement too.

Canoeing and Kayaking Week

Get away from the office and spend your week messing about on the river and in the sea. A week of canoeing and kayaking will be exciting and demanding leaving you feeling invigorated and, we hope, inspired to carry on developing your new skills back home.

Courses for Women

Our Courses for Women are a fantastic way for women to get physical, to face challenges, learn new skills. On these courses you are free to do all this on your own terms in a supportive and encouraging environment with other women. Our experience is that women often feel less inhibited in an all women group, leaving them free to push themselves, encourage each other and create a culture to achieve their best.

The programme for each of the courses Climbing Week, Canoeing/Kayaking Week and Adventure Week is exactly the same as the general course, just without the guys around and with an all female instructor team.
