I completed the 10 Peaks Brecon Beacon Challenge last Saturday. It was a tough day but was good fun with the different... people in the group and felt assured by the experienced instructors running the challenge. They knew the route well and the day was really well thought out. There were a few stops to break up the 9 hour hike, a support vehicle at different check points to quickly top up water, food or change clothes etc and Dave is really bubbly and gives you lots of encouragement. He even baked cakes for the event. I would definitely recommend this company especially if you fancy getting outdoors on an affordable adventure with likeminded people but with the safety of an experienced guide. You wont be disappointed.read more

Did the Snowdonia 10 peaks challenge. What an experience! Easily one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in years.... Great bunch people running the operations and participating in the group challenge. It was well planned and plenty of good humour and banter keeping everyone going through. Met some really interesting people. The second big incline was a killer but everyone seemed to recover once up there with the views. I’ll defiantly be interested in further challenges. Track support was really good plenty of food set up and great to change clothes and top up supplies. Dave is a top bloke!read more

Myself and 2 friends did a 4 day course on multi-pitch climbing in Snowdonia which was excellent. We wanted to climb as... a party of three and Dave was very helpful in finding a guide that could help us with this logistical challenge. Despite the poor weather we still managed to learn a lot from our instructor Luca. Would highly recommend!!read more

We had a fabulous day climbing the the Avon Gorge - super easy to arrange, a quick chat a few days before to figure out... what we wanted, and then we were on the rock! Ed, our instructor, was lovely, very patient and we both felt in very safe hands despite being MILES up a cliff on our first trad adventure. We’re still smiling now :)read more

What a wonderful opportunity Dave provided for my son and his classmates!! The abseil was a huge success and a massive... confidence booster just when the kids needed it most - the weekend before exams! He was flying high. Many thanks Dave!read more

Dave guided a group of us on the Brecon Beacons for the 10 peak challenge. Dave was very helpful with excellent... communication running up to the event. The day itself was great fun and well organised, providing all the support we needed (including photos and cake!) All aspects of the day were well planned for which meant he was able to cope really well with our group of different fitness levels. We had a great day and raised lots of money for our chosen charity! Medals and quickly uploaded photos at the end of the day were the icing on the cake. Thank you!read more

We had such an amazing day doing the introduction to rock climbing. My partner and I have been bouldering for a few... months and found this the perfect course for introducing us to outdoor climbing. The instructors were so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Couldn’t have asked for a better day!read more

Just finished a "Learn to lead/sport climb outdoors" course with Dave and I've got to say how appreciate I was of Dave... for the day. My brother and I came from an indoor top roping background and were quite worried about our lack of experience in the great outdoors and lead climbing safely. Dave explained in an email that the key is getting the basics and theory correct and getting the mileage in to gain confidence and he was absolutely right! We were both really impressed with how Dave took us from complete novices to confident beginners! Dave went over and above what we were expecting, from starting with the absolute basics where we wanted to check our existing habits with him and we were better able to correct ourselves and understand why these processes are safe. I think a lot of climbing courses we have done before are instructed at a very basic level and aimed towards children, and Dave's style of instructing was able to meet us at our level and was a great balance of knowledge and experience, Dave picked a really good day and location for the climbing which made the day that much more enjoyable. During the day we tried lots of different scenarios giving us really good experience, we also had the opportunity to try different belay devices and other equipment and Dave was very helpful in going beyond the basics to slightly more advanced knowledge which will be very useful in the future, and also gives us more confidence that if we can overcome problems on our own and really how we should be thinking in order to have fun and climb safely. It was a really great day, Dave was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and was really fun to have around whilst also instilling lots of knowledge in us and gave us a great experience of real outdoor climbing and I must say he managed to encourage us on even when we were quite high up in a desperate situation, which at the time I was thinking "Dave, I am really stuck" but he was really good at instilling the confidence to keep pushing on, which is something I think will stay with us for the rest of our climbing journey. Thanks Dave!read more

We went on a 2 day learn to lead (trad) course about a month ago. Dave was superb with all the communication before and... after the course. We had Jamie as our instructor – he was excellent - super friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They tailored the course exactly to what we wanted to achieve. Awesome weekend, we learnt *so* much – would highly recommend!read more

A fantastic day multi-pitch climbing at the Wye Valley, organised by Dave and the team. Our guide Kevin managed to... find just the right balance of pace to ensure that we were all comfortable with the new skills being learnt and remained safe at all times, but were also challenged enough to keep the adrenaline pumping. A really enjoyable course and highly recommended.read more

We had a great day yesterday in the Wye valley, learning to lead with our instructor Alec. With absolutely no prior... experience, we were confidently and independently leading climbs by the end of the day. Professional, reassuring, and focused on safety and teaching, I couldn't have asked more of Alec.read more

It was hot and at times we (not Dan) got a bit bothered, but we had a super day on Saturday. Dan was calm,... knowledgeable and very reassuring on the rock. Both our boys (aged 9 and 11) really liked him, gained varied experience and now have their first belays under their belts. As soon as we got home and unpacked the car they were both glued to the 'Climbing Blind' documentary and have downloaded 'The Dawn Wall' on Dan's recommendation. Safe to say we will be back in touch in the future....read more

From the get go, Dave was quick to communicate and got me in touch with Simon my instructor. The course itself was... brilliant, informative, tailored and has given me the confidence to research an develop my skills further. If you want to learn how to climb i couldn't recommend Dave's services and Simon's instruction!read more

Had a really good day yesterday with an into to trad climbing course. The instructor Kevin was able to tailor the day... to our needs, helping us work with the kit we had and advising us on improving for the future. I felt the course was very well run, safe and personal as well as being informative. Dave was really responsive and easy to communicate with and I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for something similar.read more

Had an excellent experience on a two day Trad Lead course. Dave was very responsive and helpful with everything... beforehand (and afterwards), and our instructor, Danny, tailored every aspect of the course to be precisely what we were looking for. Could not fault the local knowledge, gear provided, relaxed approach, wider subject knowledge, company, or, really, any other aspect. My husband and I were supported to achieve more than we'd expected, whilst feeling safe at every turn. Definitely finished the second day happy to go out and tackle simple trad routes independently now, which was exactly what we'd set out to learn. Happy to recommend, and would (probably will!) use again. :)read more

Had such an amazing day out going through a multipitch course with Dave ahead of a trip to the dolomites. Dave is an... excellent teacher, gives clear advice and great tips. He made the day fun, crafted a plan that worked on what we needed most and followed up with some great links and further info for us to read through. Couldn't recommend him highly enough!read more

Dave took me for a day out at Wintours Leap by way of a reintroduction to rock climbing after a long break. We climbed... three multipitch routes, brushed up on abseiling, gear placement and setting up stances. Great experience. Dave is absolutely solid, helpful and good company. I would certainly recommend him on the basis of the day I spent with him.read more

We did a 1 day lead climb course in the Wye Valley with local instructor Jamie, we went to a couple of different crags... trying trad & sport climbing. The climbs were perfectly suited to our abilities and what we hoped to achieve from the day, with some fantastic views and even managing to avoid the expected downpours! We're already making plans to go back and do more climbing!read more

I did a 1-day trad course with Dave Talbot, instructed by MI Danny. Danny made the day completely based around our... experience and what we aimed to get from the day, which was perfect. We were lucky with perfect weather and quiet walls, and Danny taught us a lot about the techniques and also little personal tricks for things like gear arrangement. I'd definitely book with them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for something like this.read more

I went on a group trip to Slovenia where Dave was one of the two mountain guides we had for the few days over which we... planned to summit Mt Triglav in the Julian Alps. Although mother nature was very much against us in the form of torrential rain, thunderstorms and lightening - Dave had several options as a backup plan which he posed back to the group to decide. We managed to scale some waterfalls via ferrata, take a trip to Lake Bohinj, and then ascended partway up Triglav before admitting a soggy defeat some hours later. We all had a ton of fun, and really appreciated our guides being able to think on their feet and still give us 3 days of mountain madness :Dread more

We went on an Introduction to lead climbing course in Bristol with a local instructor Danny. The course felt perfectly... tailored to our requirements. The content was at the right level, exactly what we needed to know, and we felt safe and confident at every step. Danny was a very knowledgeable guide as well as fun and easy to get along with. The service was very reasonably priced and I would happily come here for future learning!read more

Dave and Robyn guided a group of us to four 4000+m peaks in the Atlas Mountains, including Toubkal - the highest in... North Africa. They were always full of energy and continually kept the team motivated. You were never in doubt that they were fully prepared for all eventualities, using ropes when required and even having a foam roller for those of us with tight muscles! On top of this, they were always teaching us important mountain skills, with demonstrations and giving everyone the chance to practice these skills in a safe and fun but relevant environment. I also thought they were excellent at tailoring the experience to different peoples wants and needs. A personal example: i was keen to learn more about ice-climbing. Dave had clearly noted this and took the time to discuss extra ice-axe techniques with me, even hanging out by a frozen waterfall at the end of a long day to teach me a few skills in-depth! Without a doubt my favourite adventure holiday of the year - i'm already looking to book another one with Dave in the New year! Highly recommended.read more

Dave and his team were fantastic, making everyone confident and happy with their abseil, even our petrified... participants! Thank you so much for a truly great day. I have copied in an email from one of our abseilers... "I just wanted to thank you for a great time on Saturday . The wonderful friendly greeting from you and you team was a delight and made a super start to the day. Dave Talbot and his team are also to be congratulated on a job very well done , their approach and banter put us all at ease - or as much as one can when walking backwards off a tall building ! Please put my name of your list for any similar events in the future and I hope you raise a stack of money ! Best wishes PS I assume the coffee was laced with valium or I would not have enjoyed the drop so much !"read more

I could not have wished for a more professional company than Dave Talbot Adventures when planning our charity abseil.... The initial organisation from Dave himself and Mark, Max and David, our crew for the day made the whole experience the success it turned out to be, with their friendly professionalism and attention to every detail. They will certainly be my first point of call for any future adventurous charitable pursuits! Thanks to everyone involved.read more

Dave and his team hosted Noah's Ark Charity Dangle event Sunday 16th October 2016 from Newport Transporter Bridge and... we couldn't have picked a better team of instructors to help us. From the outset Dave was very helpful with the administrative side of the event and on the day he was very proactive and very friendly, calming anyone who was nervous. I would recommend Dave and his team to anyone who was thinking of running a Challenge event and Noah's Ark Charity look forward to booking the event next year. Dave keep the good work up and the excellent standards you have.read more

Dave and his team hosted a charity abseil for us in London a couple of weeks ago and we couldn't have picked a better... person to help us. From the outset he was proactive, friendly and incredibly helpful, not only finding us a venue but roping in (no pun intended) some extra participants on the day too. Having sworn I would never abseil, I found myself feeling so relaxed and safe with the guys that not only did I complete the 130ft challenge, I did it three times... thank heaven for the photos they took to prove it! If you're looking for someone to help you with an adventure look no further. From start to finish the process was fun, easy and cost-effective - I have no hesitation in recommending them and look forward to finding some more activities we can get involved in.read more
