Our centres have easy access to single-pitch and multi-pitch crags in stunning locations, with enough to challenge the most adventurous rock athlete! Our on-site climbing walls make excellent all-weather options, and are also a great place for beginners to practice their newly learned skills and experts to hone their craft, as well as practicing bouldering techniques. Climbing develops dexterity and confidence and many people overcome their fear of heights through abseiling back down again!
Mountaineering

Location

Step right into the mountains and over the streams, where you find your soul sings, as you connect with the beauty of the place around you and discover more about the Creator. Whether it’s enjoying a walk along a sheltered loch, or climbing a series of Munros, we will tailor the day (or days) according to your desired level. Nothing quite compares to the allure of the bothy or tent set up in a unique spot after a day’s walking – and the sunrises on our overnight expeditions and multi-day journey
Weasling

Combine a mixture of caving and climbing and you have weasling! Does squeezing into tight spaces and enjoying our unseen underground environment sound like a truly crazy adventure? This all-age activity is particularly suited to young people and is a fascinating scramble through boulders and narrow passages helping to build team work and confidence. This day activity can easily be made into an overnight camp.

Journeying by mountain bike is a great way to explore and experience the beauty of nature. With a wide network of trails through stunning woodlands, many with natural features to enjoy, our centres are well situated to offer some of Scotland’s best riding, whether it’s for a day or multi-day expeditions with overnight stays. With local bike parks right on our doorstep, don’t miss giving mountain biking a try with your group or family – we’ll take you to some of our favourite hidden places!
Open Canoeing

Whether it’s on calm pools on a loch, white water on a river, to a varied coastal journey, an expedition on an open boat is an exciting challenge. Unlike kayaking, an expedition in a Canadian canoe allows a shared experience and a chance to work as a team – as well as an easy way to carry equipment for nights away. Experiencing the stunning lochs, rivers and coastlines of Scotland is a must-do adventure!
Gorge Adventure
Age Appropriate
- Teenagers
- Adults
Location
- Outdoor
Experience the difference of being “in” the water rather than being on the water. As you climb through the gorge, feel the strength of the water rushing past you in this exciting new world, clambering through deep pools, narrow channels and thundering waterfalls. On the way back, find out what going with the flow really means! The gorge adventure is perfect for Autumn, where the water is warmer and the levels higher. Mixed aged activity available for water confident swimmers.
