You Don't Need To Be In Your 20's To Do A Canoe Expedition...... a review from a 50-something year old!

Epic adventure, lingers with you long afterwards:

'The most incredible adventure that will stay long in my memory. Our guide Luke, from In Your Element, excelled in his role, teaching us novices all things kayak, cheffed up the most amazing three-course evening meals, hot breakfasts (impossible to go hungry) and kept us safe.

As a woman aged 50-something, I was apprehensive about the physical challenge - and it was hard but doable, although glad I’d upped my training to prepare. The weather was appalling, freezing at times, with gusty headwinds slowing us, so we didn’t quite reach the end, but already planning a return trip next year to conquer the trail!'

There's a moment on every gorge walk where you look around and think: how have I never done this before?

Water rushing past, ancient rock walls on either side, and your group cheering each other through every jump and scramble. It's one of those days that just sticks with you.

We have spaces left on our guided gorge walk at Brig o' Turk on Friday 30th May — the perfect excuse to get off the sofa and into the wild. Come join us!󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 When the night before the wedding looks like THIS...

We love hearing from couples who've made their wedding weekend truly unforgettable — and this review made our day! 🎉

💬 "This was truly one of the best decisions that we made for the wedding — the activity was so much fun and was a really good icebreaker ahead of the big day! So many of our guests commented on how fun and well run the event was, and we particularly enjoyed the huge tug of war to finish things off!"

A drop-in Highland Games on the eve of your wedding? Honestly, we can't think of a better way to bring two families together before the big day. 🤝

Whether it's a friendly caber toss or an all-out tug of war, our Highland Games are the perfect way to break the ice, get the laughs flowing, and create memories that'll be talked about long after the wedding itself.

😱 That face says it all...

One second you're terrified. The next? You're absolutely LIVING for it. 🌊

White water rafting in the Scottish Highlands takes you from 'I can't do this' to 'when can I do that again?' faster than you can say rapids. The fear is real — but so is the incredible buzz that comes after.

This May bank holiday, do something that genuinely takes your breath away. Spaces are limited to 17th, 21st and 28th May. So book early to avoid missing out!

Great Glen Review Alert and it's a good 'un!

"Seven of us, who had all studied together some 34 years previously - all relatively fit and in our early sixties - and were long-standing friends, teamed up with our guide, cool hand "Lucky" Luke to paddle across Scotland.

We were excellently kitted out in terms of tents, very nifty inflatable sleeping mattresses and a wet weather kit for paddling. Luke was an outstanding guide, sharing plenty of technical and safety information but only in small bites as and when appropriate, cooking like a chef, and providing interesting history on the areas that we passed through. not rain once while we were putting up or taking down our tents, and that the winds were favourable throughout.

Most importantly, though, he appreciated what the trip meant for us and slotted in very comfortably with the group. We had the most amazing time together - thank you."
