Hi Sam

Just a quick note to say thanks for organising the activities on Saturday. Think they were pitched perfectly given we weren't quite on top form.  Pub was also excellent.
 Thanks again for your help.

Titan was awesome. It was an experience that will stay with us for ever. I can’t do it justice with words. I feel really privileged to have had the opportunity to go down (and back up). In terms of expectations it was pretty much as expected from your descriptions, except with a lot more to do at the bottom than I had anticipated. Makes me tempted to do the through trip another day. You never fail to deliver. Life feels all a bit too boring now it’s over. Thanks again for organising it.

Sam from Acclimbatize organised a fantastic day of activities in the Peak District for a group of eight of us. Both the abseiling and gorge scrambling were great fun and Sam had all the qualities you could want from a guide: calm, reassuring, and professional but fun. The day’s activities were great value and hugely memorable for the whole group. I would recommend Acclimbatize without hesitation to anyone wanting a brilliantly organised outdoor adventure.”

Thanks again for all you did.

This just in by email - 22 July 2011 - Feedback on a 4 day activitity programme
Hi all,
 
Just wanted to say another massive thank you for another brilliant week.  The activities this time were spot on and all staff were excellent as always.  There were some very tired but happy kids  (and staff)  at the end of today. 
 
The level of flexibility was really good, especially today when the kids were so tired they could not cope with team work so the activities were changed to suit them. 
The gorge walk and abseil were again the highlight and the kayaking etc today was brilliant - so much better than Carsington and it would be great if we could do this again next year.  The facilities at Midland Canoe Club were spot on and Ben, Tom, Paul and Richard were very good.  Also a big thanks to Harry and Sam for all their great work.
 
Please pass our thanks on to all staff and especially Ed who co-ordinated everything and coped with everything thrown at him including me throwing spanners in the works and talking to much. 
 
Please could you pencil us in for the same next year.  I need to check dates and confirm everything with the Head but all should be well for a return.  I will let you know in September.
 
Looking forward now to 5th October, will get final numbers and money to you as soon as we can, we will launch the vent to the kids as soon as we return.  I am also trying to set up some school based events for year 11 and Kate (who is head of year 12) is also interested in setting something up.
 
Have a great summer,
See you soon
Jonny

by email - 21st July 2011 - feedback on a team building night for a local "Ladies Circle"

Hi Daryl

Great night last night.  Everyone really enjoyed it.  Some of them were new to our group and were talking about how they could involve Acclimbatize in their businesses!!

Some new activities and Ed and Sam made it very challenging but really good fun. Can’t wait to do it again next year – get your thinking caps on for some new challenges!

Thanks Karen


Team Development Day for Paul Smith Ltd
The Activity Day was fantastic and it made such a difference to the team in work afterwards. People worked together much better and they lived off the boost from the day for months! Some of the team building exercises proved to be very thought provoking for some people - especially where the need to listen to others came in! One group did not listen to a team member who had the right answers/ solution at the very beginning and consequently lost time.
The department enjoyed the day so much they would like to book 2 days with you in August. The days will have to be on separate weeks. Have you got 2 dates for us? Please can you let me know when you can. Many thanks.   

I have worked with acclimbatize in a professional capacity for several years. As a member of Lea Green management committee (Derbyshires LEA Centre) I feel I am in a good position to judge the quality of the outdoor educational experiences Daryl provides. His Knowledge and experience of curent Health and safety issues and risk assessment procedures is second to none. His passion for outdoor learning underpins the sense of challenge and personal fulfillment he seeks to impart to every young person he works with. Daryl is extremely well organised and is a good communicator. He makes good use of technology to support and enhance the product he delivers.

Personal development training such as this can test our limits and help us to learn the techniques that will help us to overcome the obstacles we face. It also shows us how to recognise the strength that teamwork plays in helping us to achieve our goals.

A personal thank you to yourself and your team for an excellent trip, which was extremely well organised and a lot of fun for students and staff. I would also like to thank you on behalf of the sports department at Boston College who thoroughly enjoyed the trip and felt that the communication between your team and our students was fantastic.

On Behalf of the staff and students at Woodlands School, I would like to say thank you for a great day on the 17th July . Your team were outstanding and a great time was had by all.
We hope to work with you again in the future.

Mr Alan Brady Woodlands community school, Derby.


The range of activities offered by acclimbatize is fantastic. We've already tried caving, Kayaking and rock climbing and are keen to try more. What impressed us was that most of the instructors were highly qualified across a diverse range of activities.

We've used acclimbatize six times now and on every occasion the quality of instruction has been excellent. The tutors have all been professional and listened carefully to our requirements whilst remaining fun to spend time with. We have always felt safe even in the most challenging of circumstances. The time we have spent with acclimbatize has inspired us to undertake new challenges and push ourselves further.

We had gone to PGL year after year. The programme you produced was a zillion times better. A different league!

Mr Gideon Sutcliffe - Keeble School for Boys


Our course aims were achieved through discussion prior to arrival and the flexibility of 'experts' towards meeting our needs.

The equipment and resources used were better than expected and the support from (Acclimbatize) staff was excellent - a good balance between instruction and self reliance. Support was always there if/when required

Flight Sergeant  M, Taylor-  R.A.F Cranwell


Many thanbks for yesterday - it was just fantastic! So well organised and everyone was safe - a prime concern for me! I can tell you, you are really gifted at working with people- encouraging them to go a bit further, but not making them feel negative if they have had enough.

Ms M Mitchell  - Human resources - Paul Smith Limited.  


Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent work done by you and your instructors at the residential last week.

Feedback from the kids and workers was extremely impressive and all felt that the instructors made the two days enjoyable and successful. You have an excellent team of workers and I look forward to working with you all in the future.

Ms S Dale - Derby City Council  - Positive Action for Young People (PAYP)


Good communication during the planing of the event. The activities were interesting, varied and fun. Nice touch with the rockets relating the senario back to Rolls Royce.

The abseiling was handled very well, making everyone feel safe - even those that had not done it before.

Simon - Rolls Royce dynamics department.


The course aims were absolutely achieved - sufficient challenge and diversity. All tested themselves at some stage and passed!

Everything we needed was supplied in good condition, the tutors were fantastic! Both competent and confident breathing confidence into the cadets and me.
