In the beginning

Gateway Outdoors started trading in summer 2005, with the aim of providing a mobile provision for outdoor solutions for anyone who wanted to experience the outdoor environment. Gateway is run by Matt Craig, who has been operating as an outdoor instructor in multiple disciplines since 1999, and very much maintains the company ethos that everyone must have the opportunity to get out and try something new. 

Everything

Gateway outdoors is a multi-discipline provider and, as you can see on the activities page, we offer many different activities. As such we are equally at home going on extended canoe or mountain expeditions to technical coaching on mountain bikes and rock climbing. This variety keeps us motivated and enthused in all the various projects we have been involved with.

How we can help

The idea of a mobile outdoor providers business is that if you have an idea or aspiration, then we can help you achieve your goals and/ or provide the most suitable solution for your ideas. We discuss your needs, organise the activity, meet you on location and get stuck in. It’s that easy!

Canoeing Skills and awards

From time to time, we organise and run weeklong and weekend guided Canoeing days or expeditions. We also run BCU courses which can even be organised “on demand” for groups!

Also skills courses are available. These are level dependent. You can select the course to suit your own needs, from beginner to advanced techniques on the river.

Have a group of friends all looking to go canoeing?
Then we can sort out your itinerary for you, meeting you on location and taking you on a route to suit your level of ability, or deliver your canoes on hire and collect them wherever you need!

As Expeditioning is our thing we are always looking for  anew adventure / journey to be had. We have all the equipment and knowledge to turn your hobby into a holiday / journey of a life time.... within your own country!! We have extensive knowledge of canoe journeying in scotland and wales, so canprovide you with a truly memorable trip. Take a look on the Expeditions page for more information on expeditions we have done!
