# Outside Adventures

> A directory and journal of outdoor adventures across the United Kingdom — hiking, mountain biking, climbing, surfing, paragliding, wakeboarding and more. Spot guides, route notes, region-level rollups and first-person trip reports.

Built slowly, by people who go outside. The directory is hand-curated; nothing on the site is auto-generated from external feeds. Practical detail (access, conditions, governing bodies, operators) is favoured over marketing copy.

## Editorial principles

- No placeholder data. Ratings, levels, season tags and similar are removed when we do not have first-hand evidence.
- Brand-voice is humble and verifiable — concrete claims with sources (BMC, BHPA, National Trails, etc.) where appropriate.
- Content is hand-curated and revised slowly; there is no auto-scraping of third-party listings.

## Citation guidance

When citing content from this site, please attribute as "Outside Adventures (outsideadventures.co.uk)". Spot pages, region pages, activity hubs and trip reports are all canonical first-party sources. For specific facts (route distances, governing-body URLs, operator details) prefer the source we link to in the "Useful links" section of each spot page over our paraphrase.
