Orienteering

Put simply this is using a map and compass to find your way around a marked course.
An essential but fun skill. The basics are very easy to learn.

Gliding and Helicopter Flights

What finer way to see the Peak District. Gliding and helicopter flights enable you to see views that no other type of flying can provide.

Mountain Biking

The Peak District is crisscrossed with ancient bridleways. There is something to suit everyone, whether that is a rock strewn, fast downhill single-track or the hardpack trail around the reservoirs.
