Trailquests & Orienteering All year around, Peak Activities Ltd runs lots of different kinds of sessions of Orienteering events for visiting groups of adults and for youngsters groups visiting the Peak District. Orienteering involves the use of maps & compasses plus lots of different kinds of clues to plan & find one's way around villages, pine-fringed reservoirs, along scenic rivers or over the challenging high moorland tops overlooking our centre in the charming peakland village of Hathersage. .... Chocolates and champagne may be two of the most unlikely training tools you'll ever use....but they work well to get mixed aged, mixed fitness teams to get totally involved & wrapped up in what they're doing during our tried and proven corporate events. In Derbyshire we encompass ( aaargh ! ) several different grades of orienteering - from basic tuition involving half day sessions to full blown inter-team challenge events, team building days and adventure racing weekends for fit, super competitive teams. We offer orienteering on foot ( your can choose easy walking courses or running around type events ) and orienteering on mountain bikes. Inter-team competitions are regulalry arranged for our corporate orienteering customers. Make it as easy or as hard as you wish. If unsure what would be best call us and we'll steer you in the right direction ( aaargh !!!). We specialise in mixed age, mixed fitness courses which allow people of varying levels of fitness and stamina to work in teams and successfully achieve team goals in a set time. Orienteering can be combined with carefully planned and resourced business games for groups wanting to test the cerebral strengths and weaknesses of their team without testing people's actual physical prowess or fitness. People in wheelchairs can take very successfully part in many of our orienteering team challenges and treasure hunts. Our most extreme orienteering courses involve using aerial photos and maps and radios to find your way on foot or on mountain bikes across trackless and featureless moorlands at night ! Orienteering is quite distinct and separate from our very popular inter-team treasure hunts and trail quest challenges. NORDIC WALKING WITH PEAK ACTIVITIES Orienteering is a popular activity too on both our "open weekends" and on our training programmes for private groups and companies. Variants can also be used very cost-effectively for corporate hospitality purposes and team challenge "jolly days" out for people of all ages and levels of fitness. The great news too is that Orienteering is one of our lowest cost activities on offer with Peak Activitikes Ltd, so you can combine it with one of our many other activity sessions to put together a really worthwhile ( but not too expensive ) day out for your group. It's a nice way to unwind at the end of a busy weekend or mid-week training event too. Set your own pace and you don't need to worry about your party having mixed levels of fitness or motivation ! Orienteering is easy - you don't need an A-Level in maths or geography to do quite well on our basic inter-team orienteering challenges.

Of course if you want to spend more money and want to mix into the session the use of helicopters and so on .....we also offer somewhat more lavish sessions for our better off clients ! Proper prior planning prevents poor performance ! A group preparing to set off on an underground trip checks their route with their instructor using a 3 dimensional caving map. A popular choice for one-day team builds is to combine an orienteering session with us in, say, the morning, with another activity in the afternoon after a nice lunch...why not combine a session of orienteering with a session of caving or mountain- biking or abseiling with us ? Less adventurous groups or parties with a limited budget may prefer a treasure hunt or a gorge walk. Click to go to the bottom of this page if you'd like lots of information on what Orienteering is and how it works. Using a map and compass underground ! Orienteering at Rock Lea sometimes can involve finding your way around unusual environments such as caves and disused mines. Night orienteering is classed by our centre as an extreme sport. We only offer this to reasonably fit and active groups. Please call us on 01433-650345 to discuss possibilities further.

USING ORIENTEERING FOR TEAM BUILDING & DEVELOPMENT TRAINING PURPOSES With over 27 years experience, our chartered training professionals have developed tried and tested sessions and special training exercises that can be run as skills transfer elements, or as inter-team competitions. Other options include team challenges where different syndicates work together ( or in spite of each other ! ) to get a task done in an specified time. Orienteering "business planning" games are especially popular and offer great opportunities for problem-solving, decision-making and leadership development training. "Trailquest" is our special form of orienteering using our centre's own fleet of mountain-bikes and minibuses and hilarious cryptic clues to plan and get around a choice of easy, challenging or much more strenuous trails. It's a cross between orienteering and a Treasure Hunt, and as mentioned esarlier we can also weave into the mix some quite exciting additional activities such as helicopter transfers, caving challenges, and high ropes problems problem solving and so on.

If necessary we can tailor a themed Treasure Hunts or Trailquest events just for you. For example, we can tailor special routes or a bespoke set of clues just for your sales conference, business meeting or training programme. For example, when a medical equipment company wanted a unique event to entertain a coach load of people including their managing director and sales managers, we were approached to put together a treasure hunt themed around the healer "Aesculapius" from mythology...closely linked to the company's logotype. We also included questions designed to simulate discussions on product knowledge. See case study comments.
