Testimonials
This is not just our first, or second, but our third trip with RAW. It would be easy for me to talk in past tense and say how incredible the team and Ross have been in the last 3 trips but in reality we're only just getting going!
Every trip we've had with RAW involved at least 50 individuals. The level of commitment, professionalism, and energy has been unrivalled compared to other organisations. It's what keeps us coming back time and time again.

I picked RAW so I could switch my brain off and not stress about navigating. What I also got was a committed, friendly, motivational and supportive team who insisted on filling my reservoir at our stops and making sure we were all fed and watered.
I had no business completing this challenge but thanks to Ross and his team, somehow, just somehow, I did. If you want to do the Welsh 3000s you must give serious consideration to using the services of RAW Adventures!

What an amazing trip! So well planned by RAW, all the guides were lovely. Very supportive and friendly ensuring everyone was ok at every point.
This was my second time doing an event with RAW and I’d 100% recommend them and I’d certainly do it again!

Sea to Summit Challenge
Fabulous course delivered expertly by Helen and Dan, it was fun and interactive, ample opportunity to ask questions and consolidate learnings.
They had a wonderful way of teaching which flowed through the day covering all aspects of the syllabus which we then reviewed the following day. Would highly recommend RAW Adventures.

We have just completed the DBR Race 2024 this week on the Hatchlings course. RAW has been a big part of our adventure over the last 18 months.
We thoroughly enjoyed our recces and had learnt so much. This week would've been a lot tougher without having seen route and the terrain. We gained valuable local knowledge of the route and race, in a supportive and inclusive environment.
We also got to meet other participants on the race, which meant having friendly faces to look out for during the week. RAW gave us the confidence to push ourselves this week and see what we can do!! Thank you to the RAW team for being part of our DBR journey.

Enrolled on the inaugural RAW Adventures Mountain Leader Training Course for 16/9/24. Fantastic experience from joining instructions through to delivering the six day course. The RAW team of Helen and Dan were fantastic, full of knowledge and encouragement on what is a very tough weeks training.
This is my second course with RAW and on both occasions they've made it a very enjoyable and knowledgeable experience, they will be at the top of my list when I look at booking the next stages in my training, can't recommend them enough.

If you are thinking of doing the Dragons Back Race then going on some RAW Adventures Recce days are a must. Don’t be put off by prices, every penny is worth it. The knowledge of Kate and her team is second to none, not to mention the brilliant sense of community within the group chats.
I learnt an incredible amount on the two days I did in August. Everyone was made to feel welcome no matter what their ability. My only regret was not having done more recce days! Thank you Kate and team.

Had an amazing time taking part in The Burnt Chef Project, Sea to Summit 2024 challenge. RAW Adventures helped organising the event and followed us along the 30 kilometres walk.
It has been a great experience that challenged us both physically and mentally but I would definitely recommend it!

Sea to Summit Challenge
I would highly recommend Raw Adventures as a guide company. We hiked Snowdon at sunrise with a corporate group and they made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time.
The guides were so knowledgeable which allowed us to focus on the walk and just enjoying ourselves. The administrative side were very communicative and sent us through all the information that we needed before we set off. Amazing job guys!

Your team was amazing as always. Generous, caring, understated, humorous and great to chat to. Exactly what was needed.

I just wanted to say thank you yet again for giving our group an awesome mountain experience! The feedback from everyone has been fabulous – everyone said how much they loved the mountain and how lovely and helpful your guides were.
Conor was again just the most encouraging, patient and friendly guy. Clive told us many little snippets of facts, history and folklore which was great and Leon set a great pace and was generally lovely. The guys made the day really fun, we loved it so much we are already pondering options for next year!

Thank you for everything this year. We had a fantastic day on Ben Nevis and couldn’t fault the guides. We thought Cat and all of the team were amazing and pitched everything perfectly for our group. They were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, fun to walk with and great support when it was needed. Cat’s attention to detail and thoroughness were noticed and much appreciated.

It was an enjoyable day. Rich judged it right with just enough info for us to take away and get some basics but not too much to overload us.

Excellent Lowland Leader course with Gwyddion and Ross. Lots of very relevant information given and new skills learned.
Couple of classroom hours and the rest of the course given in the World Heritage Slate Mining area and in beautiful Newborough Forest on Anglesey. Good fun too, thanks!

It is obvious what sort of company you are - the right people and attitude can turn the unbearable to enjoyable! It is lovely for RAW to be part of OSCAR's story - you helped us raise £23,000 - our second highest fundraiser ever and highest Family Challenge.

Alder Hey Children’s Charity held its first ever Snowdon by Night event in April 2022 and is now one of the most popular fundraising events in the charity event calendar. The team at Raw Adventures have been such a pleasure to work with since day one.

I extend my thanks for a truly magical day yesterday on Tryfan. Our group have a varied level of experience and that was managed so well. Everyone had the most exhilarating and incredible day and yet at all times felt perfectly safe – RAW Adventures made our weekend and we thank you for it.

Cannot recommend RAW Adventures enough. Kate looked after us from the outset every step of the way right up to the summit even in the poor weather conditions we had. Extraordinarily knowledgeable of every facet of the mountain and absolute pros through and through!

We had an awesome day climbing with Jonathan and Leon - two very knackered but happy teenagers (and adults!) after today - thanks both.

A big thanks to Ross for a brilliant Expedition Skills Module. Ross is very knowledgeable and lots of great ideas were shared amongst the group. Even in the heatwave there was no rush to do anything and we even got an ice cream at the end of it all!
