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!

Courses

Whilst the main part of our season is primarily “expedition and activity” we organise personal skills courses and instructor training programmes through autumn to spring

A new initiative from Gateway Outdoors, is to provide over the course of the winter period, a selection of courses within different discliplines that will prepare and train a person with the right attitude and aptitude to get on the instructor ladder. It is designed in such a way that you can just get involved with one aspect of the industry, i.e. canoe / kayaking, without having to commit to a large period of time or into disciplines that you are either already invovled in or don't wish to get involved in!

This doesn’t mean, however, that we are not able to help you out. We have a small staff pool of qualified and experienced people who can run these courses. We do obviously need as much notice as possible to organise courses!

Individuals can look up dates of courses or get in touch with friends to block book for discounts!

Booking forms and course details are availiable on request

ALL COURSES ARE SUBJECT TO MINIMUM GROUP SIZES
