Adventurous Training

Adventurous training is a great way to challenge yourself mentally and physically and take you out of your comfort zone. After completing a rock climbing route, scaling a mountain or paddling down a fast flowing river you will be left motivated, exhilarated and wanting more. There is nothing better than attempting a tough challenge and coming through the end having achieved you goal.

YTC take individuals and groups training throughout the UK and Europe. So whether it’s a team building day for a company, management and leadership training or just some fun for a group of friends, we can help.

Summer Hill Walking and Trekking

If it’s the hills and moors you long for but feel like you don’t have the skills or experience to tackle them alone, drop us a line. We can offer advice, run workshops on navigation and hill safety or act as a guide.

Winter Skills

Enjoying the hills and mountains in summer is one thing but why put your outdoor gear away at the end of the season when there is a whole new world of winter activity waiting for you. Once you’ve experienced the mountains in winter conditions you will be hooked for life. That sounds great, but it’s understandable that most people have some reservations about climbing and walking in mountainous areas in winter. YTC can help and support you by providing advice, instruction and guiding throughout the UK and Europe.

Expeditions

Mini and full expeditions are run throughout the year. If there is something specific you or your team want to do then we can assist with planning and organisation or guiding and leading the exped.

If it’s equipment you need then take a look at the Expedition Equipment Hire page, for ice axes, crampons, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, walking poles and tents.

If it’s clothing you’re after, take a look at the Adventurous Equipment page, for a range of high quality, light weight clothing.

If you want to get in shape physically then look at our Fitness & Conditioning options or Yomp Training day on the Southdown’s or Dartmoor to kick start your preparation.
