The Peak District’s first Big Shakeout Adventure Festival was declared a huge success by organisers Alpkit and Thornbridge Outdoors, with more than 300 outdoors enthusiasts treated to Autumnal blue skies, bright sunshine and inspirational views near Bakewell.
- Ed Oxley was on hand with his coaching clinics
Bikers, climber, walkers and canoeists enjoyed all that the Peak District has to offer before kicking back at the Big Shakeout.
Mountain bikers were taught invaluable skills from Campbell Coaching beforebeing guided around some of the best trails in the Peaks by Ed Oxley.
Benji Haworth was there making sure riders knew how to capture it all in his photography courses. Families and friends encouraged each other up, under and through the obstacles of Thornbridge Outdoors, while climbers were treated to world class coaching sessions by Johnny Dawes and Andy Kirkpatrick.
“This weekend was all we could have hoped for,” said Alpkit director Nick Smith. “We couldn’t have asked for a better crowd, everyone just got into the vibe of the event. The atmosphere around the campfire on Saturday night was electric as people listened to the music and shared the stories of their day.”
