- W8324NWchrisp0 contributionsAmazing Day OutAn amazing day out hiking in the beautiful hills of the Peak District. This course is excellent for those who want to learn the basics of navigation or just refresh skills that have long been forgotten. The teaching was very easy to understand, covered all the basics you would need to be able to navigate yourself around various locations and under different circumstances, along with lots of practical exercises to enhance your learning. Paul, our instructor, was amazing and a very knowledgeable and skilled teacher. He made the day not only extremely informative but also great fun!!!👍👍👏👏 I would definitely recommend PureOutdoors to anybody wishing to improve their skills of being in the outdoors.Written September 20, 2024
- lauramL3343IH0 contributionsOutstanding Day of AdventureGreat day full of adventures and experiences with the team! Would definitely recommend the Capture the Flag Event. Allows all of the team no matter their ability to get involved and take on their own personal challenges.Written September 13, 2024
- davidpC3418ZN0 contributionsPerfectly pitched two day course learning to lead climbLoved it and learnt so much. Excellent, tailored, expert instruction for three improving climbers learning to lead climb. The instructor, James, was a brilliant communicator and teacher with clear expertise and passion for climbing.Written August 27, 2024
- I1997SNrichardd0 contributionsBrilliant instructors ensure a great experience.My son did the outdoor bouldering day, I tagged along as an observer. Dan and Matty were brilliant instructors not just around the bouldering techniques but also around safety, choosing and setting up and how to treat the environment properly. Matty certainly challenged, improved and supported the group he had which my son was in. Would definitely recommend Pure Outdoors as they make sure everyone whatever ability has a great day and comes away much improved, more knowledgeable, very happy and totally exhausted!Written August 18, 2024
- 707simonr0 contributionsBrilliant activity, excellent instructorWe booked a half day weaselling and abseiling for our youth group (11-15s). Everyone had a wonderful time. Matty the instructor kept it fast moving and fun with just the right level of challenge. He also threw in some really good teamwork stuff with the young people. Highly recommended activity with an outstandingly good provider. We would definitely use them again.Written July 22, 2024
- 810mathewa0 contributionsA unique and fun experience cavingGreat fun caving in the Peak District. Stephen gave fantastic insights into the history and geology whilst keeping us safe underground. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to try something a bit different... but bring spare socks!Written July 14, 2024
- BedsAndFood0 contributionsGreat fund undergroundExcellent experience on the Introductory Caving course. A very different but highly enjoyable day crawling, walking. squeezing and climbing over, under and between rocks. Led by Chris this was a fantastic way to explore what's under your feet in Derbyshire. Chris was an excellent guide, always encouraging, guiding us through the caves and puddles. He was very informative and also entertaining with his wealth of stories about caving exploits - though not always with happy endings! Glad I didn't hear them beforehand! It was hard work and muscles ached the following day. If you don't mind getting a bit wet - especially in your wellies this is a fun, enjoyable and very different experience. Highly recommendWritten July 8, 2024
- sldr20240 contributionsWonderful experienceI've done a few courses with Pure Outdoor and couldn't ask for more. Very friendly, great instructors and overall a wonderful experience, would use again!Written May 14, 2024
- Trail309367175820 contributionsBrilliant rock climbing courseHad a brilliant time on the two day beginner's rock climbing course. Instructors (Rachel and also Monica on the first day) were wonderful, can't praise them enough! Age range went from 15 to 62 (myself), but everyone was very well accommodated and the instructor gave us all the right amount of personal challenge whilst we always felt completely safe. I learned a lot, and would definitely come back again if I get opportunity.Written April 12, 2024
- Stephen G0 contributionsA great introduction and a great instructorMy 14 year old son and I joined a group for a day of horizontal (no ropes) caving. It was great to be able to get to see two contrasting cave systems in the day. I’d done some caving 30+ years ago and had forgotten how much fun it could be. My son particularly enjoyed the opportunity to show how he could do things that his middle aged father could not… Our leader, Chris, was great not just from his obvious competence but also from the additional detail he gave on how to cave safely and how he explained the detail of what we were seeing. Looking forward to coming back and trying out vertical caving.Written April 9, 2024

- 2020Sucks0 contributionsHighlight of my life!!An amazing weekend in the Aviemore, Grampians, winter walking. We went up a slope using ice axe using a technique called daggering, at the top the sun was setting as we came down the ridge, has to rate as one of the highlights of my life. Guide was great, and group was excellent companyWritten March 1, 2024

- X2171QGrachaelm0 contributionsHUGELY ENJOYABLE AND EDUCATIONAL DAY WITH A GREAT INSTRUCTORMy sister and I did the one day navigation course with Pure Outdoor Ltd and we both had a fantastic day. The company is very easy to deal with and their communication is excellent. Our instructor Rick was fantastic - very knowledgeable and supportive with endless amounts of patience! It was a very small group and at the beginning Rick made a special effort to ask what we each wanted to achieve and specifically take away from the day. This was appreciated because he then tailored his teaching to suit us and our requirements/experience. We were all fairly novice at map reading and had never used a compass before but by the end of the day we felt much more confident to go out and plan walks for ourselves. Hugely enjoyable but educational at the same time - highly recommended!Written November 15, 2023

Took part in an amazing weekend beginners climbing course led by Rachel. The climbs were chosen really well around our abilities so that we were challenged without being overwhelmed. Rachel was extremely encouraging, patient and reassuring throughout, which greatly aided my confidence in an activity I have never done before.
I would definitely recommend it for anyone interested in trying out climbing for the first time, or those who had had some experience, but need to build skills/confidence.
Great people, great weekend!

A really enjoyable day, our instructor Gavin was extremely knowledgable and a great teacher. I learnt loads about climbing throughout the day from setting up equipment, to climb difficulty ratings and different techniques. Gavin was great at giving confidence to all the climbers on the day and improving their climbing; whether it’s just a day of fun or if you want to get into the sport.
Covid-19 measures were excellent in the activity centre and sanitiser was provided after touching shared equipment when out on the rocks.
Can’t wait to go again!

Fantastic day with Dan climbing and abseiling. He pushed us to our limits, ensured plenty of adrenalin but made us feel very safe and reassured and lots of fun was had. He was brilliant with the children as well as some of us more fearful adults!

I booked online and traveled up to Sheffield with my teenage son the night before my climbing adventure. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by our guides, Ruth and Carol. They quickly got us equipped with climbing shoes and safety gear, and then we drove out to the beautiful Burbage Bridge.
We enrolled in the one-day beginner's course, which was perfect for our skill level. The climbing site is conveniently located just a five-minute walk from the car park. We started with some simple, easy climbs to get a feel for the basics and by the end of the day, we were conquering impressive 20-meter walls!
The experience was incredibly fun, and Ruth was especially supportive, providing encouragement and guidance throughout the day.
A few tips for future climbers: make sure to pack some snacks and drinks as you'll have lunch in between climbs. Also, wearing long trousers is advisable to protect your knees from getting scuffed.
Overall, it was a fantastic day out and I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get into climbing!

Had a great time always loved climbing but never had a chance to climb a crack. Chris, the guide was a great help. He made everything safe and managed to encourage one of our group to get over his vertigo and climb a decent distance up. Highly reccomend

I did the Outdoor Rock Climbing Taster Day with my husband last week and had a brilliant day out. We were joined by just one other climber and we were lucky enough to have Chris as our instructor - he was insanely good! The day ran really smoothly, parking was easy, the activity centre was easy to find and had great facilities - we were offered a coffee after our drive to get there and had a relaxed briefing about the day ahead. After picking up the kit we had a 15 min drive to the quarry where we would be spending the day. Everyone in our group had done a little climbing before and it felt like Chris really tailored the day to our knowledge/skills/confidence and made sure we got exactly what we wanted from the day - offering us different options at several points in the day. Chris's passion for climbing was contagious and he challenged us to trickier climbs on the wall which left us feeling a massive sense of achievement once we reached the top! The whole day was brilliant and really ignited a love of outdoor rock climbing in us both! Hopefully we will be back again!

Great day climbing on Stanage Edge. Our instructor Rick tailored the day to what we wanted and needed; he was excellent. It was just the right amount of instruction, challenge and achievement. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is setting out climbing or looking to consolidate their skills and confidence climbing outdoors.

Went climbing with the family while in the Peak District. Oli our instructor was brilliant with our 2 kids, 11 and 13. He was a great instructor, very knowledgeable and made the nervous feel safe.
Climbed 1/2 day on Stanage Plantation. Tip, take midges repellent!
Thanks for a great experience, will hopefully return.

Answering the call of the wild, we (five guys, and one girl) decided to book an introductory climbing day through Pure Outdoor.
Our instructor, Lauren, was first-rate throughout our day spent on Stanage Edge. From helping us to fit our kit to providing clear and careful instruction on the various routes we attempted, Lauren was professional and supportive throughout. She kept us safe but additionally allowed us to learn how to maintain our safety individually. Lauren also gets extra credit for laughing at our jokes to which there was no obligation for her to have done so!
