Group Adventures
Our Group adventures are suitable for people of all ages wishing to experience the challenges and enjoyment offered by outdoor activities. No previous experience is required and all adventure courses can be tailored to your own requirements at no extra charge.
The following pages have a few general outlines of courses to get you thinking about what you want from your time with us. Some of the activities listed below, can be mixed for a full day of adventure. If you are a leader wishing to bring young people on an adventure with us have a look at the Schools and Youth section.
As you can see we offer a wide range of activities and courses. We will always provide an acceptable alternative if the weather makes it impossible to undertake the activity of your choice. Real Adventure is licensed by AALA to provide winter activities for young people. If you have a group of keen hardy types that would like the chance to do something a bit different in the outdoors then this is the course for you.
Rock Climbing
The wealth of outdoor climbing crags and indoor climbing walls in the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales ensure that opportunities are plentiful for people of all ages and abilities to directly experience the challenges and thrills of climbing. Take your feet off the horizontal and onto the vertical.
Abseiling
Experience the exhilaration of descending rock faces, buildings and bridges using ropes controlling the speed of your own descent.
Mountain Walking
Head for the hills and explore ridges, valleys, summits and breath-taking views of some of the highest mountains of the UK.
Gorge Walking
This is a fun physical activity that everyone can do. It involves scrambling up Mountain Rivers, getting wet or staying dry (you choose!). You will definitely come back with a smile on your face.
Sea Cliff Traversing
Head for the beach and climb along cliffs, abseil off headlands and crawl though caves.
Canoeing
North American open boat for two to three people. You kneel or sit inside and use a single bladed paddle. Chose your Lake, we have a few, put on a buoyancy aid and paddle or even sail your boat from bay to island.
Kayaking
Single seat boats, with a deck. You sit inside and use a double bladed paddle. Build some experience with us, then bring on the white water!
Raft Building
A great team achievement! Build out of rope, wooden spars and barrels a craft that will transport you and your team through (or into) the water. Learn knot tying and pioneer your way through the day, getting wet and have a lot of fun.
Caving
One of the best group bonding adventurous activities. Venture underground with us and see the most amazing fragile formations and features that caves have to offer.
Tyrolean Traverses
This is where twin ropes are set up over a huge drop or a river. The group can learn how to set up the ropes then help each other get across.
Tree Pull
Learn the mechanics of pulley systems and haul each other to the top of a tree. Can you trust each other not to let go?
Initiatives
Problem solving tasks that need the whole group to work together effectively as a team to solve.
Expeditions
Some of the best adventures are when you embark on a multi-day expedition. Whether in canoes, by sail or on foot we can accommodate you in tents and teach you about camp craft and have a trip we will all remember for years to come. There are many amazing trips to be experienced in remote and stunning areas of The Lakes and Scotland. Let's go on an adventure!
