- This page details what you need to bring along on our outdoor events.
- The safety of our customers & staff is always paramount ....but their
- enjoyment & comfort comes a close second ! That's why we ensure
- that everyone on our events is properly equipped, all-year-round.
- If you can bring along the smile, we can supply almost everything
- else you'll need for a superb event away in the Peak District !
- We provide all our customers with the best available
- personal & group training equipment, including anoraks,
- boots, wellies, safety-hats, all-in-one waterproof suits,
- wet-suits & lifejackets, hard hats, etc.
- We can supply resident groups with walking boots too, if necessary. (please phone for details)
- We know lots of people like to buy new kit to come
- away on an event with us BUT there's no need to buy
- anything especially for an event with Peak Activities.
- A group from Rolls Royce, Derby donning caving suits during
- a team development workshop designed to help reduce the
- "Trent 700" jet engine's "strip+ rebuild" cycle by 50%. (which they did)
The white drum's full of flasks full of tea & coffee ! We like our creature comforts ! Who's got the chocolate then ?
- Customers are sent a detailed personal equipment list
- (click for a .pdf file sample download) when they book
- ...and on this list the only essential items to bring along are
- lots of old clothes and a smile :-) !!!
- We can supply most items you'll need during your stay...
- including anoraks, leather walking boots and even woolly hats
- for the fashionably challenged ! Our training clients' delegates
- are usually briefed all about what to bring when our staff come
- over for pre-trip briefing sessions...
- For example, people who wear spectacles are asked to consider
- the need to bring along items such as strings for making sure they
- don't lose them when windsurfing etc., but there's no need for
- anything really special.
- FREEBIES with your logos and stuff specially printed on them...
- Many corporate clients often ask us to arrange special "give away"
- items for their delegates We call them "gizzits". Such as momentos
- or prizes for competitions might include items ordered especially such
- as embroidered ( or silk screen printed) anoraks, T-shirts, blousons,
- umbrellas, ties, etc. It's not essential to lavish gifts on delegates to have a
- really good time, but it often goes down well with all concerned - especially
- if the organiser wants to impress the participants. Something useful &
- different ( like a small rucksack) that will last and be useful in times to
- come is always welcome & treasured. Peak Activities Limited are happy
- to arrange this sort of additional optional gear for our clients - providing
- we have plenty of lead time. We can also steer people towards good
- value-for-money suppliers who we trust and who we know clients can
- deal with direct ( which often works out cheaper than asking us to do it).
- Examples include the USAAF and British Diabetic Association who have given away
- ace T-shirts whenever they've been up here with groups. Aesculap Downs gave everyone
- a day rucksack with their corporate logo printed on it so they could carry round their
- stuff easily whilst on a treasure hunt involving a lot of walking ; sweatshirts for every
- participant on recent team building events for Ernst & Young and Price-Waterhouse-Coopers.
- Another client likes to give away Thermos Flasks and big bars of chocolate always go
- down well but don't seem to last very long !
- The writer's personal long lasting favourite useful "gizzit" is a nicely printed Swiss Army
- style penknife which is great for when I need to take stones out of horses hooves*.....but
- then again I am a sad person who watches "Animal Hospital " a lot and who really does enjoy
- taking things out of horses hooves ! My wife likes over-sized T-shirts. To each their own !
- One well-heeled client at present is generously suggesting giving away logo pinted GPS
- satellite navigation systems to their delegates as a reward. They will be very well received
- as he's planning to issue them at night just before they go out across a lonely moorland
- on a map reading exercise. Do I get one too ? Maybe I should go and work for them full time eh ?
- All I usually get when I go away on courses is a lousy keyring and a Biro !
- Clients wanting help obtaining prizes for team challenges and competitive events should contact us
- for ideas. We can discuss this and look at sample ideas if you decide to come and see us before
- you finalise the details.
- *If you really didn't know we actually did horse riding treks, climbing, abseiling and caving
- & lots of other activities here , then you've probably not studied our list of activities.
- Check it out ! All the equipment for the sports we list is provided by us !
