Based in Connel, near Oban on the West Coast of Scotland, we have
been offering outdoor adventures since 1989. Our courses are peripatetic,
thus enabling our instructional staff to vary locations and content
to fulfil your ambitions and appropriate to your abilities.
We also have an Outdoor Centre, Tavool House based
on The Island of Mull which is our main base for youth training
courses, multi- activity courses and island exploration. Tavool
House is ideal for group bookings. Whether it is self catered
or activity based with our resident chef. Tavool House is a unique
location for parties, New Year celebrations or just getting away
from it all.
Our specialist outdoor courses are designed around your ambitions
and when possible your time availability. Over the years we have
found that you prefer to decide on your choice of accommodation,
size of group and where possible content of your adventures.
