ABOUT US
The Your Mountain Adventure Group founded by Mark Valentine who, after experiencing the huge benefits which can be gained from spending time in the outdoors and developing key skills to allow this, wanted to pass this on to others through sharing his expertise and knowledge.
Based in Yorkshire, we run courses and adventures around the UK and internationally, delivering high quality practical skills tuition and guidance on everything from navigation, mountain craft, and climbing courses to planning and leading international expeditions. We have recently expanded our offerings, being joined by Attain Outdoor Community, and Full Circle Nature Therapy.
We allow our clients to challenge themselves physically and mentally amongst a group of like-minded individuals whilst under the direction and advice of fully-qualified and experienced instructors. We are passionate about providing every one of our clients with the appropriate skills, knowledge or guided opportunity to visit & experience environments and landscapes that once seemed out of reach.
