The Ras Dewi Sant Challenge 2023 Ras Dewi Sant saw near perfect conditions and as a result some amazing times were achieved, With what I believe to be course records across the board. I remember the talk on the day being about “You wont get a better day than that” or “Thats as quick as you’ll get” Well we have always liked a challenge, So for 2024 RDS we are going to offer the following £100 to anyone who beats the course record, And to make it fair we will make it “The Course Record” in their age group and

Everest Base Camp Trek and Back. Is the Everest Base Camp Trek and Back and easy hike? I had read and heard a lot of accounts and most said the trek is easy, but the altitude makes it difficult. I can see what they mean, but in my opinion the altitude is part of the trek so therefore it’s not easy. However, the trek is achievable for most hikers, who have a good level of walking fitness and strong sense of determination, because the trek will ask questions of you! The Planning Personally, I believe it’s good to take on
School Challenges One facet of our job that I really enjoy, is working with teenagers on what could be their first journey into the outdoor adventure world, watching them grow as they take on varying challenges the wild throws at them. There really is something about a challenge in the outdoors, which is a real leveler amongst teenagers. In today’s world we are all to use to having things instantly, at the touch of a button and if we do have to wait, we tend to get bored and move on to an easier or quicker path. The great outdoors

Something a Bit Different Adventure Race Pembrokeshire Whilst sitting on the beach all summer long, watching our coasteerers and kayakers do their thing and constantly saying to our visitor friends, “The toilets are over there, yes the white building in the corner, look there, it’s the only building, no it’s not a house it’s the toilets” And then, in the quiet moments, reminiscing about the Whitesands Challenge and the good old days! It got me thinking!! What challenge can we do here at Abereiddy. Well Obviously, the Abereiddy Challenge! Now normally when we do such a thing, I’ll get a
Wellness and Resilience in the Outdoors The Covid years have seen more and more people heading for the outdoors, looking to escape the four walls that have been surrounding us physically and mentally. Last year we saw this first hand with the amount of staycation tourists flooding Pembrokeshire and the high demand for our activities such as Coasteering and Kayaking. 2022 has seen us at MUUK-Adventures, take this concept another step forward.
