Excellent Outdoor First Aid course I recently did the 2 day Outdoor First Aid course with Hatt. It was the 4th such course I have done for my MTA qualifications but the first with Hatt and it was by far the best one I have done. An experienced, informed and passionate instructor providing ample opportunities for questions and clarifications as well as realistic scenario based learning in the woods at Blacklands Farm. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a 2 day outdoor first aid course!

Rock climbing at Harrison's Rock Had a great time rock climbing with Hatt Adventures. Great instructors made sure we all got the best out of our experience. Special mention to Kyle who was a very enthusiastic guide and made sure everyone pushed themselves!

Abseil off Peacehaven Cliffs Hatt Adventures were brilliant! We were running a charity abseil event and Tom and Andy were so calm on the day and knew exactly what they were doing to help get our supporters abseiling down the cliffs. Some of our supporters were very nervous and the Hatt guys made them feel at ease. The event ran smoothly and we are delighted to have raised over £6,500 for our charity! Emma was also extremely helpful on the lead up to the abseil and helped us advertise our event on social media. A very positive experience- would highly recommend. Our supporters were keen to do future events for us and had nothing but good feedback for Hatt Adventures too!

Abseiling with Sam I am doing a charity abseil this month so last month thought I'd practise and booked into an abseil at Blacklands with Sam. From beginning to end he was supportive, encouraging and patient with all of our nerves, the others on the course were all fantastic and friendly, Sam created a real sense of camaraderie and I had an unforgettable day. Now I feel less terrified and am looking forward to abseiling down some cliffs in a few weeks time! Thank you Sam!

Outdoor First Aid Level 3 - work courses have never been this fun! I attended the two-day Level 3 ITC Outdoor First Aid course at Blackland Farm delivered by Hatt as required my our new roles. It was EXCELLENT. A good mix of theory and practical learning, we were straight into it after a quick briefing. The cohort was just small (just 5 of us plus Dai, our teacher) which really helped the learning experience as it meant that we could work together closely and our instructor could spend a lot of time with each of us to support our understanding. The scenario learning with constructed participatory first aid situations was a brilliant way to put all of our learning into practice. Dai, our instructor was super enthusiastic and clearly very experienced, as well as an excellent listener and supportive in his feedback. The company I work for hadn't used Hatt before, but I will be recommending to my managers that staff are sent to them for future outdoor courses. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to receive my qualification certificate!

Fantastic Experience Had a fab experience on Sunday 28th at the Spinnaker abseil with Anya and the team. Really well organised and I felt safe the whole time, views were stunning too. Unforgettable experience and would do it again.
