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!

Duke of Edinburgh : Silver Award

At this level of the award, candidates who have a bronze level should have a reasonable knowledge of camp craft and navigation so as well as brushing up these skills, we can introduce them to different modes of transport for them to complete their expedition. Canoeing and mountain biking are very popular hobbies for many people and is a brilliant way to see parts of the country and try out something new!

Typical itinerary:

  • 2 day training and refresher of personal skills - for those who hold bronze award. (extra training will need to be included for those wishing to do canoe or bike expeditions)
  • 3 day training expedition.
  • 3 day qualifying expedition.

Gateway Outdoors will provide all group equipment and paperwork processing.

The average cost of this package is £250 per candidate, £320 for canoe or bike expeditions.
(Price dependent on group size, location of the expedition!)
