Me. on a mountain, half way up Dollywaggon Pike to be precise.

Welcome to Northcol Adventure.  I am a freelance outdoor activity instructor based in the North West (Burnley).

Up until Covid in 2020 I was working full time across the UK delivering a variety of activities, adventures and outdoor sessions to children and adults from age 3 to 70+.  I worked for myself and other providers including Education Authorities, Activity Centres, Charities, Schools and Nursery Schools.

I offered hill and mountain activities, climbing both indoors and out, mountain bike guiding/coaching, event organising, corporate days, problem solving, challenge events, archery, orienteering course creation and coaching including to OAA standard in schools. All sorts really!

Some examples were: A-Level Climbing program delivery,  logistics and support of a Way of the Roses Coast to Coast cycle ride for charity, Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme supervision and assessment, Yorkshire Three Peaks guiding,  outdoor activity centre sessions, running club navigation training, ‘Outdoor Education’ space creation and delivering activities/sessions. Adventurous activities in Early Years, introduction to rock climbing including sessions supported by BBC’s Children in Need.

I still hold a variety of National Governing Body Awards/Qualifications.

Climbing, mountain & hill walking/guiding, navigation training, fell & trail running, archery, bushcraft, mountain biking orienteering.

I still work outdoors but on a very much part time basis usually for other providers.  If I cant help I will be able to put you in touch with someone who can!

What do you want to do?
