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!
From time to time, we organise and run weeklong and weekend guided bike trails trips anywhere in the UK.
Also skills courses are available. These are level dependent. You can select the course to suit your own needs, from beginner to personal mechanics on the trail. We can help you set up your new bike or take you down hilling at night!
Keep your eyes on the course page to see when the next ones are coming up!
Have a group of friends all looking to go biking?
Then we can sort out your itinerary for you, meeting you on location and taking you on a route to suit your level of riding, or deliver your bikes on hire and collect them wherever you need!
We have lots of experience in bringing mountain biking to all age groups. These sessions are progressive and can be run over a course of weeks or just a single day out!
We also will discuss the needs of your groups in order to get the right location for your pupils.
