Technical Training Centre Takes Shape
15 Mar 2010 - Jason Beverley
The construction of Distant Horizons new indoor technical training centre at our headquarters in Watermillock Ullswater is nearly complete with the internal fitting out commencing very soon The building is key to our business development with us being able to offer a wider range of activities all year round despite the weather. Having a facility that is purpose built in itself is fantastic but to be in a position to have a wet weather alternative gives us the ability to offer our clients so much more than most providers in the Lake District. Specific technical training courses will be available from mid April including 1 day workshops in areas such as ropework for rock climbing, glacier travel and big wall climbing to SRT skills for cavers.

In the hills and crags surrounding the Ullswater valley, the Distant Horizons team run rock-climbing courses for small groups, combining a painstaking attitude to safety with an emphasis on fun.
Course director Jason Beverley aims to make courses as cosy as possible to ensure his charges get the most out of the day. ‘We prefer small groups so things don’t get crowded and there isn’t too much standing around,’ he says. ‘It’s best to have just a few people who get along very well
