Explore. Challenge. Grow.
We are an outdoor adventure and personal development initiative that helps people connect with nature, challenge their limits, and strengthen their mental health. Through expeditions, retreats, and team-building experiences, we provide the physical and practical challenges that build resilience, confidence, and a deeper connection to both yourself and those around you.
Join us for invigorating outdoor experiences, designed to push you beyond your comfort zone. Whether it’s a cold-water challenge in the mountains, an intense jungle expedition, or the simple peace of a hammock campfire under the stars, our adventures encourage you to get out of your comfort zone, develop mental toughness, and find clarity away from everyday pressures.
Gather around a campfire, cook meals over an open flame, and share stories with a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Our programs cater for everyone - from beginners to experienced adventurers.

I really enjoyed the hike with Andy and the group he has created something very special. I felt very welcome throughout, it was great to meet such supportive, friendly and like minded people. The dip at the waterfall was a perfect way to end the day. I look forward to more adventures!!

U-Turn took us on a journey. I really needed it, I needed some time away, I needed to go somewhere new, in fresh air. I got what I needed. Thank you so much.

Just spent the weekend with what were a group of strangers and came home with a new group of friends. The whole experience from arrival to departure was perfect and ultimately the hike up Cadair Idris was amazing (even squeezed in a cold water dip), Andy, Sarah and Chris are the kindest most helpful and informative people you could ever wish to share this kind of adventure with - you'd be foolish not to give them a go!!! I will definitely be returning xxx
