BECK SCRAMBLE
A great challenge requiring lots of focus and a support from your team. The Beck scramble takes you down a water course through squeezes, slides and big jumps into the water. This is an amazing activity for groups that are visiting for a short residential, who are daring and seek adventure.

A trek through the forest discovering more about the local environment and wildlife. Throughout the trek you will encounter team building challenges, wide games and wild experiences to immerse yourselves in nature. An invigourating way to start your adventure.
CRATE CLIMBING
Set in The Barn, a team challenge to get each member of the group as high as possible on a tower of crates. Everyone has a role to play encouraging, helping with safety and building the crate towers. To successfully reach the top the team needs to show planning, trust, teamwork and balance!
JACOB'S LADDER
A great activity to focus on team work and helping each other. The Jacobs ladder is a series of horizontal bars hanging vertically in the trees. These get progressively wider apart the further up you go. 3 people climb together and soon discover that to succeed they will need to work as a team.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
As well as our on-site mountain bike track we offer extended trips out onto the North York Moors and Cropton Forest.

CAVING
Peat Rigg now has it own artificial caving system: A physical and mental test of nerve and team work. Featuring over 120 metres of challenging squeezes, crawls, passages and caverns (and some surprises!) to replicate the features of a natural cave. Built to blend into the natural environment – see if you can spot it at Peat Rigg. Will your team be able to find all of the hidden fossils?
This project has been partially funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
​
TREE & ROCK CLIMBING
We have on site climbing in the form of two trees set up with climbing holds and progressively more difficult in nature, they are affectionately called baby and mummy tree. Not to be underestimated, there is plenty of exposure to challenge the keenest of climbers.
We also have an off site climbing venue set in a disused quarry on the edge of the North York Moors that provides some challenging routes on real rock.
LOW ROPES
A 16 element challenge course set 1 metre off the ground, the Low Ropes provides a great team building experience and an opportunity to help others succeed through support and encouragement.
Zip Lines
Zip through our woodland on one of our ziplines, we have the exciting low zipline for those wanting a taste of adventure and the high zipline for those daring enough to take on a challenge. Both ziplines involve a great amount of teamwork, from checking your teams safety to effectively communicating the best pose to jump off in!
