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!

Summer Mountaineering and Hill Walking

Mountaineering sounds like it can be a bit ‘full on’ but it really covers a multitude of environments. We have worked in a variety of locations that cover low level hill or moorland walking to steep high mountain scrambling.

If you feel like you would like to push yourself to try something you’ve always heard about, brushing up or learning basic mountain skills like safety and navigation, we have the knowledge to help you out.

For those wishing to have technical input on various aspects of mountaineering then please get in touch. We always like to help out to instruct / teach and refine existing skills as part of a refresher or preparation for assessments!

As with all the other activities, we offer everything from 1:1 tuition to group outings for fun, whatever the level. Let us know your requirements and we will organise something to suit you!
