I just thought I’d send a quick note to thank you for 2 great days on the crags. Personally, I was worried I was going to join a course with a set syllabus that wouldn’t really meet my needs but I was really pleased you took the time to understand my requirements and tailored the course to suit. I now feel confident to take my family into the crags and know that we can have some safe fun. Having a different instructor on each day was good to see the different styles and approach for setting up. I found Richard’s approach very easy to follow and letting us loose in a non-threatening area was an excellent way of exposing us to the skills and techniques without exposing us to any risk. I loved the top rope set up Scotty demonstrated using a single rope and the time to practice further once back at the centre was excellent; I just need to get out there and get some practice on the crags now!! Once again, thanks for your help and encouragement on the course and I know I’ll be back to learn to lead with my wife in the near future! Best regards, R.S. 24th-25th April (Explore Rock Climbing and Abseiling)
Just a short email to say what a fantastic time we had on the bushcraft course, and that the tuition from Jules was excellent. Looking forward to doing more with you at ProAdventure, keep up the good work . Regards., M.G. 18th-20th April (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Just like to say Thanks for such a great morning, the snow just added to the feeling of being cold, highly recommended to cure some headaches from the night before. Thank Richard for doing such a good job with the motley crew he had . Kindest RegardsM.D. 17th April 2008 (Gorge Walking Taster for Saltend Co-Generation)
Dear Sal
Thank you both so much for a fantastic afternoon on Saturday. It was a major source of conversation all night, as you can imagine. Without exception, we all had a challenging and exciting time and the event really did surpass expectations.
We were obviously very fortunate with the weather - in terms of the volume of water - which made it a serious venture rather than a trot down a stream bed!
Finally, please could you pass on our thanks to Susie for her part in the afternoon's success. You were a great team!
With best wishes G.A. 12th April 2008 (Gorge Walking Taster)
THANK YOU to Pete, Scotty and Tom for an amazing trip. It was such an experience and I think we will have so much to think about and practise. Joel has quickly recovered from his terror that he may be fed a wayfarer meal and has begun writing up his trip report which is so full of lots of exciting memories.
Thank you, H.H. 24th-28th March 2008 (Open Canoe 5 day Wilderness Trip in Scotland)
Just to say a big thank you for an excellent day with you on Saturday. I never expected Markus to do as much as he did, and to see his face light up during the day made our holiday. We will certainly be back to Wales soon, and will look you up. Thanks to all at ProAdventure. S.L. 5th January 2008 (Family Adventure Day - Rock Climbing, Abseiling and Open Canoeing)
Just a note to say thanks for this weekend. Scotty was great and we appreciated the opportunity to break up the weekend with fantastic Gorge Walking and Kayaking. Will be back for more. Many thanks, K.J. 27th-28th October 2007 (Family Adventure Weekend - Rock Climbing, Gorge Walking and Kayaking)
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for a great day on Saturday. Matt was loads of fun and was very encouraging when after about 10 minutes James wanted to get out of the kayak and Matt gave him a tow. The boys loved falling in the canal and especially loved the "seal-launching" off the edge. Spud was an absolute star! We all loved the rock climbing and abseiling. Both leaders were great guys and we considered ourselves very lucky to have been assigned Matt and Spud. We will be back and will recommend you to anyone we think is mad enough! H.S. 27th October 2007 (Family Adventure Day - Kayaking and Rock Climbing)
Many thanks to Richard for a fantastic 2 days. I've learned so much and had a great time too. I can't wait for the next opportunity to practise what I've been learning. Thanks for your recent brochure - my problem is now that I want to try everything! Thank you, H.H. 22nd-23rd October 2007 (Open Canoeing Personal Coaching)
Excellent, really enjoyed. Leo very enthusiastic with practicals which makes for best learning. Also made sessions specific to students to get the best out of them. Diolch! R.M. 11th-12th October 2007 (Private REC First Aid course for Glan-Llyn)
The Llangollen Challenge gave the students a tremendous experience with fun, excitement and team building all in one day. The event was well organised and provided the students with a unique start to their studies on the Business Management Course at NEWI. S.K. 1st October 2007 (The Great Llangollen Challenge)
Hi There I just wanted to say thanks for a great weekend on the 29th/30th September. The whole weekend was very well organised and the instructors were great fun as well as being very professional and trustworthy. In fact the weekend was so good we are looking to do something similar next spring, with a group of about 8 people. Also I would like to say thank you as you really helped us out when my sister broke her foot and then fell pregnant meaning we had to rearrange our dates a couple of times. Thanks K.B. 29th-30th September 2007 (Multi-Activity 2-day Course)
Hello I wanted to feedback that we had a great time last weekend, all the activities (kayaking, white water rafting, gorge walking and rock climbing) were fantastic. Jim and Jules were especially good teacher/instructors 10/10. Many thanks, G.D.S. 29th-30th September 2007 (Multi-Activity 2-day Course)
Dear Sal, Our abseil with ProAdventure was very successful. Everyone really enjoyed it and it was well organised by the instructors. Would you thank them very much too. It will be an event for Cancer Research UK that we will always remember. We even had the weather on our side. Please pass my thanks on to Pete, though I will look in and let you all know how much we raised. S.W. 30th September 2007 (Sponsored Abseil for Cancer Research Cymru)
Hi Sal, Just wanted to say thanks for organising our events last weekend. We all had a great time and all seemed to learn something about ourselves, each other and how we can all work as a team. Considering that two of our group were frightened of being immersed in water, two were petrified of heights and one of enclosed spaces (I didn’t know this beforehand), we all worked well to help people overcome their fears, and as such, they got very much more out of the two days than some of us who have done this stuff before. Please pass on our thanks to all your instructors who helped make the events such fun. Kind regards J.P. 28th-29th September 2007 (Custom Team-Building Event for Mouchel Parkman)
Best activity I've ever done, it was awesome getting back to basics and learning new skills. Instructors were fantastic and provided just the right amount of guidance without taking over what we were doing, brilliant!
Say cheers to Dave, Tom and Julian they did a great job. D.J. 21st-23rd September 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Hi
Just a note to say THANK YOU to Danny for an absolutely brilliant Gorge Walk on Saturday - we all really enjoyed it, and will definitely come back again (but only if we get Danny to take us on the walk!).
N.C. 22nd September 2007 (Family Gorge Walking Taster)
Have had a brilliant time, lots of learning and laughing. Julian, Tom and Dave provided brilliant tuition in a relaxed fun environment. D.Y. 14th-16th September 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Super! Well taught and example led training. Cheers! A.W. 14th-16th September 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Had a brilliant time, learned lots and had fun. I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks! Anon. 14th-16th September 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Brilliant weekend, felt like I'd been here a week got so much done. Should be compulsory. Just could not believe I've had such a great time in just 2 days! D.J. 14th-16th September 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Difficult to criticise in any way...you have a great team. Jules was great, clearly knows stacks and passes it on very well. Would have been good to see a bit more of Rich. I had a great time and would love to come on the 1 week event. I hope to be able to practise these skills too. I.H. 14th-16th September 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Superb experience! D.Q. 14th-16th September 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Bloody brilliant, thanks! P.W. 14th-16th September 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Fantastic! What a blast! J.S-C. 14th-16th September 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
I wanted to write and thank you, James and Peter ( Tarzan, Pedros, The eater) for a great experience for the young boys I work with...the boys experience was second to none. I look forward to using your services in the future. K.M. 23rd - 26th August 2007 (Custom package - Survival, Open Canoeing and White Water Rafting)
Delivery was amazingly fast and the quality of products recommended was very high.
J.W. August 2007 (Online shop customer)
Hi Sal I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed yesterday's Mountain Biking with Tony. The level of exhaustion/level of adventure balance was just right, we even got to visit the top of the castle, and “downhill” the other side. Some riding along the canal at the end was quite relaxing. A brilliant day overall, I will definitely visit ProAdventure again (do you have any dates for Discover White Water Kayaking Day?) and recommend you to my friends. Once again thanks to everyone that made it possible. J.S. 5th August 2007 (Discover Mountain Biking)
As climbers with experience on indoor walls we found it very enjoyable climbing in a different environment, and learning about the differences and how to adapt our techniques. Overall it was lots of fun. E.W. and M.W. July 2007 (Family Rock Climbing and Abseiling Taster)
I was very impressed by the instructors and other staff. The instruction was very competent and professional. I've been on many short courses over more than 30 years (not usually sports), so it's difficult to remember if this was "the best", but it's up there with them. B.L. July 2007 (Explore White Water Kayaking)
Hi
I have just returned from your brilliant bushcraft & survival weekend run by Garrick & Adie. I learnt a lot from them both had fun doing it as well. Highlight of the weekend was skinning, cooking & eating the rabbit. Low of the weekend was not being able to get my fire started, but it has pushed me on to take what I have learnt on the course and improve my skills. As they say practise makes perfect. I know we had difficult condition with the weather. Over all I had a brilliant time and would book again.
Once again thanks for a great weekend.
R.T. July 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Hi Sal, Thank you so much for organising the white water rafting session that I did with my 6 friends yesterday (Sun 8th July), we all had a great time and are gearing ourselves up for gorge walking next (once our aching muscles have recovered!!) We were all so glad that we were able to raft together and not get split up even though there were 7 of us. Thanks for arranging this, it was greatly appreciated. Please can you pass on all our thanks to our instructor Pete Smith who was brilliant. Many Thanks for a great day. Katie and friends K.H. July 2007 (White Water Rafting - River Dee)
On Monday June 25th we two rather apprehensive and mature in years ladies arrived in Llangollen to try white water rafting. Even with such unseasonable weather it was a shock to find that the river level was so high and the water was running so fast, and we wondered just how we would cope. It was brilliant, and so exhilarating! Our thanks to Pete and Warwick who made us feel so confident and at ease the whole time. We are already planning to return again and have also recommended ProAdventure to others. Again, thank you for an excellent adventure. J.A. June 2007 (White Water Rafting - River Dee)
Best instructors I've had in outdoor activities! K.M. June 2007 (Kayaking Week)
Both instructors were approachable and extremely knowledgeable. Possibly could have been more structured, covering more topics, but still really enjoyable - Highly recommended! D.C. June 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Thank you Garrick and Ashley for a very good weekend. Frank (The Fire Starter) F.T. June 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Hi Sal, I would like to thank all the instructors that I had over the 3 day White Water Kayaking course in May (Tony, Richard S, Dan, Ryan and Richard W). It was great fun and I can’t wait to get on the water again. Many thanks Steve S.C. June 2007 (Explore White Water Kayaking)
Hi Sal Just wanted to say ‘huge’ thanks for Saturday and fitting us in at short notice. The kids and I had a great time and want to come back later in the summer to possibly do a full day!!!! Rich was both courteous and professional, ensuring the safety of my children and I at all times. Thanks again S.H. June 2007 (Gorge Walking)
Hi, Just wanted to say that Georgina and I had such a fabulous time on Sunday gorge walking with Jim. Thank you so much for a wonderful day – was a very great day and an excellent trip laid on by your company. We will certainly be recommending it to our friends and would love to come and do another activity with you another time. A perfect way to see some of the beauty of Wales. Thanks again Jo J.P. June 2007 (Gorge Walking)
I have today received my goods I ordered from you. I am very pleased with the goods & the rapid delivery of said goods & will most certainly be buying more items from you in the near future.
Many Thanks |
D.C. June 2007 (Online shop customer)
Really good, excellent instruction & lovely way to enjoy the views of my home town! D.H. June 2007 (Sponsored Abseil)
We came last night and did the sponsored abseil up on The Panorama. I just want to say thank you so much, we all had a great time. The weather helped but the guys also made everyone feel at ease. Hopefully we will get all the sponsorship money in now! E.F. June 2007 (Sponsored Abseil)
A real bonding experience with my kids - nothing like having a 9 year old and a 12 year old responsible for your life - they were great...I will be back. Really well organised and a fantastic week. Thanks ProAdventure for everything!! N.B. May 2007 (Multi-Activity Week)
The experience was excellent. Great being in a small group with 'jobs' to do on each climb. Excellent instructor. C.P. May 2007 (Discover Rock Climbing and Abseiling)
Everything was exactly as I hoped for...great value day out seeing parts of Wales I otherwise would not have seen. J.B. May 2007 (Discover Rock Climbing and Abseiling)
The Swedish axes are great and were delivered fast P.H May 2007 (Online shop customer)
The website was of a higher standard and easier to use than the other sites I visited looking for the same products. The description of the goods was better and included the leather axe head case missing on other sites. P & P was also included more clearly, therefore well worth a visit.
J.C. May 2007 (Online shop customer)
We had a lovely morning and learnt a lot more than expected. It was an excellent session although my legs hurt today!! ... Look forward to seeing you again next week. S. H. April 2007 (Rock Climbing with Abseiling Taster)
All instructors fantastic - very friendly and passionate! Put across ideas simply in a fun but informative way, and always happy to talk and explain further. Very attentive and read needs of group very well, catering to all levels of ability - would definitely recommend them and the course! A. S. April 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Excellent course, learnt a lot. V. good teaching. Very well balanced, good atmosphere. Will definitely come back! D. T. April 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Absolutely outstanding, couldn't fault instructors enthusiasm. Course went beyond my expectations, wish it was Longer! Cheers! P. T. April 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
This was a great little course, just the right mix of serious and relaxed, with encouraging instructors, no barracking or belittling. Good stuff! A. W. April 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
I was really looking forward to this weekend, but it was even better than I expected T. S. April 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Perfect pace, well run. D. G. April 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Excellent course & friendly, knowledgeable instructors. Thanks! M. R. April 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
I was particularly impressed by the quality of the instructors and their genuine expertise in and commitment to the environment. They were unfailingly patient, supportive and generous - and enormous fun to be with. Good job lads! (Incidentally I'm a training manager so I'm used to assessing trainers!) H. S. April 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
I was really concerned whether physically I could cope with this course. Bryn and Garrick were excellent with their support and encouragement - some achievement I feel! J. L. April 2007 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
An absolutely fantastic weekend. Thank you to both instructors for an excellent, safe and informative time. I have learnt so many skills that I shall never forget and will continue to use. Very keen to get out there again and take it to the next level, putting into practise the invaluable tools you have given us. A great group too! We all aim to meet up and get practising our new found bushcraft skills! Bryn and Garrick are top-notch instructors. Very down-to-earth, professional and a great laugh. Thanks for really making it for us guys! You've given us loads of skills, tools and info. Hayley September 2006 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Really excellent weekend. Well run, only one problem - not long enough! Really enjoyed it, thanks D. J. August 2006 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
Both Bryn and Garrick were superb guides. V. knowledgeable and great company. Cheers for a fab weekend! Sarah, August 2006 (Explore Survival and Bushcraft)
You have great guides – without exception they were likeable, skilled, enthusiastic, helpful, courteous and safety-conscious, inspiring trust and confidence. The positive attitude displayed by each one of them was fantastic. M. K. March 2006 (Multi-Activity 2-day Course)
All the instructors were fantastic, especially impressed with Rich on the Gorge Walk and other Rich on w. water rafting. Keep up the good work. Thanks for an awesome week. Ed. March 2006 (Multi-Activity Week)
Hi Peter, I just wanted to drop you a line to say that we all had a great time last week - all of the events were excellent. For me the highlight was the Gorge walking but I really enjoyed the whole experience. The Hotel was good too – thanks for recommending it. On a personal note I will be contacting you in the near future, probably when the weather is warmer, with a view to arranging a climbing weekend course for myself and my wife. Thanks for the organisation and the whole team pass their thanks on. Regards Steve
Peter, Thank you for your help in organising the Gorge walk and accommodation for our party last Saturday. I can tell you that a good time was had by all ! Please could you also pass on our thanks to your two colleagues who took us out for the afternoon and seemed only too happy to join in with the fun !! Feel free to use the comments - we would definitely recommend your company and will keep yourselves in mind for when we have another get-together. Thanks again, Simon
Pete Many thanks for our team build day out. The feedback I have had is all positive and everyone seems to have had a good time. Please pass my thanks onto your instructors and in particular the lads who took the rafting Regards gary
Hello Pete,
Just wanted to drop a line and let you know how much we girls (Cheryl Templeman's Hen Party) all enjoyed this past weekend. The activities you provided helped us all reach new limits and overcome many of our doubts and fears. We will definitely (have already) tell all of our friends about you and your company. Please also let the hotel manager know that we appreciated all he did for us as well. Wish you all the best with your growing family. Diana Schwab
Hi Peter New and exhilarating and hopefully something I'll do again at some point. I will certainly pass on your details to colleagues and try to arrange another event. All the best Karl
I just wanted to thank-you very much for the great day that we had on Saturday. All the team thoroughly enjoyed themselves -
even though at first there were some reservations from some of the group. I think that most people felt that they achieved something over the week-end
and got over fears they had!
The white water rafting was excellent fun - not for those that don't like the water!!!
I will definitely recommend ProAdventure® to friends and other colleagues who are looking
for an adrenalin rush week-end.
Thanks again,
From Wendy and all at Smart Recruitment
I spent the last weekend on your learn to climb package, and I would like to let you know how much I enjoyed the activity. Jim Ozanne was excellent as our guide - we learnt to set up a rig, deal with all of the basic components in the craft of rock-climbing, climb the most suitable slopes and, most importantly, he gave us the confidence to deal with the challenge of rock-climbing & abseiling. He also made the weekend fun. I hope to return soon with a colleague and look forward to visiting again. Dear Pro adventure
Thanks for a great weekend, it really did live up to expectations. Both
my 15 year old son Liam and I are still aching but it was worth it.
Can't wait until next time. Please thank Chris for his confident and
helpful running of the group.
kind regards
Simon Openshaw Thanx for a wicked weekend climbing, kayaking, rafting and canyoning... thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back for a climbing course. Thanx to your wife too for those energy packed lunches without which we would have perished :)
Thank you very much for the GREAT weekend! Scott and I had a super time. It was so nice to get out of London for a few days and do something active. My bruises are nice and dark today, but well worth it!
I hope it was OK that we opted out of the rafting?! We made it home just fine
and actually didn't get lost once.
I have your brochure out at work and am recommending it to all of my friends.
Good luck to you!
Cheers,
Kate
"Many, many thanks for an absolutely wonderful weekend. It went down very well with all involved and despite some initial trepidation from many of the armchairey types in the party as we began our walk up the river, everybody really enjoyed themselves.
Personally I really want to come back and do some of the more serious gorge walks you mentioned and hopefully I will get the chance if I am asked to arrange another stag weekend or corporate event. Your name will be highly recommended by all the attendees at every opportunity. Many thanks once again, Yours sincerely, Rory P
Pete Just a quick note to say thanks for the weekend, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We'll definitely be back.......... watch this space ..... In the meantime, I'm also trying to sort out a "team building" day through work. Simon
Dear Mr Carol Thank you for a great weekend. All my friends and myself had a fantastic time.
Our instructor was excellent and very helpful.
I have been already recommending your company to work colleagues and family.
I expect my friends and I will return late in the year to do another activity as we had so much fun. Please thank everyone involved. Yours sincerely Mark B
Just to say thanks to you all, fantastic fun and will back for more beer& bruises soon. Damon
Peter, Can't make the rock climbing unfortunately but please continue to mail any events that are taking place.
I was part of the group (PLAUT) that did the white water rafting and canyoning on Thur/Friday last week.
Had a fantastic time and would like to say thanks to the two instructors who took us out. I think it was Chris and Phil.
Could you pass on my thanks to the guys from all of us at Plaut that took part. regards Vicki
On behalf of all the guys thank you very much for a truly memorable afternoon. Many "war" stories will be shared in pubs and bars in the weeks to come.
We were all very impressed with your focus upon providing an event that extended each of us, brought us together as a group, developed our individual and group confidence.
Moreover it was conducted in a very professional manner with all risk assessment being undertaken beforehand by yourself.
I have no hesitation in recommending you to other companies and I am sure that we will be in touch with you in the near future.
Again, many thanksChris Fisher PS: If you would like "Eric the Eel" to demonstrate gorge diving then we can negotiate some very attractive rates!!
