Tipi Adventures & Activities We Offer
Abseiling
Epic Abseiling (also known as Rapelling) unveils awe-inspiring descents down cathedral-like walls of imposing slate rock, often free-hanging and towering up to 130 feet. Test your mettle in a secure and controlled environment, framed by the stunning Lakeland backdrop.
Rock Climbing
Rock Climbing – an outdoor pursuit catering to all skill levels. The gratification of conquering a graceful rock climbing route is unparalleled. The Lake District, known as the birthplace of modern sport climbing, harbors crags of global repute like Nape’s Needle. Here’s your chance to embrace the thrill!
Ghyll Scrambling
For an adventure that demands a trial, Ghyll Scrambling (or Gorge Scrambling) is a must! Traverse a creek river bed through wet scrambling, featuring small abseils, jumps, slides, wading, and swimming. Participants can tailor their challenge level—making it suitable for most ages and groups. It’s an exhilarating experience that leaves you yearning for more.
Canoeing
The majestic Canadian Canoe, steeped in native American heritage, perfectly complements Nomad Events’ Tipi encounters. Canoe journeys around the lake, often with coffee and cake interludes, offer a serene adventure suitable for all ages and abilities.
Raft Building
Raft Building injects an entertaining competitive spirit into outdoor challenges. Ideal for larger groups, participants split into sub-groups, race against the clock and each other to construct a robust raft using limited materials. Raft quality is tested in a thrilling race that often concludes with laughter and camaraderie. It’s an unparalleled team-building exercise that fosters unity and lively banter.
Hiking and Mountain Scrambling
The Lake District boasts an array of peaks for hiking enthusiasts of all levels. For a more exhilarating endeavor, Mountain Scrambling combines walking and rock climbing. Allow us to guide you through the world of scrambling within a structured, guided environment.
Mountain Biking
Cumbrian Mountain Biking ranks among the UK’s finest. The serene trails of Kentmere Valley or purpose-built singletracks in Grizedale Forest cater to groups of varying abilities, offering the desired flow and challenge. Electric mountain bikes level the uphill playing field for mixed fitness groups. Our collaboration with premier mountain bike guides ensures quality singletracks and access to local hidden trails.
Underground Caving
Underground Caving, an unassuming gem in our adventure repertoire, amalgamates diverse challenges for an unforgettable day.
