Testimonies

Round Sheffield Run, Sheffield June 2023 a fantastic local event complete with multiple staged races crossing parks, trails and woods. Technically challenging at times but with a great friendly vibe, complete with beer tent and decent local food suppliers for afterwards. Peak Legends Darren, Matt, Claire, Chris, Mikey and Jo

"If you want to relax, exercise and enjoy the countryside on your doorstep I highly recommend Urban Peaks. They provide guided walks and running trails tailored to your own limits with no expectations. After the run we sometimes go for a beer. Happy Days!!  Shaun Porter, The Brook Café and Bistro, Millhouses

"Thanks to Urban Peaks, I have recently been exposed to the most beautiful fell running spots in the peaks and conveniently right on my doorstep. As a casual 5km runner now and again, I have struggled to find the motivation and the physical ability to go past this distance, but thanks to Matt, he has not only shown me some stunning spots but has also managed to get me running up to 10k in a matter of weeks. So much so I have just completed the Sheffield Round Run. Thank you, Matt, for all the inspiration, encouragement and weekly chats!" Jo, UK National Sales Manager

“It’s no fun standing still, and Urban Peaks know how to pack it all in! Trail running with Urban Peaks provided me with an excellent opportunity to get outdoors and experience the exceptional nature of the Peak District while moving my body and enhancing my physical health through cardio and endurance. I was particularly impressed by the mindful approach to the adventure which really helped to boost my mental health and well-being in the process. With well-tailored packages to suit the needs of the individual or group, I would highly recommend Urban Peaks for your next personal or corporate adventure, you won’t be disappointed! Yasmin, Executive Principal, Cairo

"Coming from Cairo where the sun is hot, and the desert is flat. I loved being able to see the amazing views from across Carl Walk and Higger Tor. The following day we were lucky enough to run around Eccleshall woods with Urban Peaks and resident four-legged friend Jessie. Love Peak Legends" Zak, Mini Peak Legend.

"Urban Peaks designed the perfect guided walk for me. I'm recovering from an accident that has restricted my mobility and Urban Peaks that the route we took offered the opportunity to enjoy Sheffield's beautiful woodland at a pace and over terrain that I could comfortably manage. Most importantly for me, it was relaxed and fun experience that I could enjoy with my family. Thank You Urban Peaks for tailoring a walk that was restorative and has helped build my confidence on uneven ground."
Claire Murray, Executive Director Watermill Theatre

The van (nicknamed Jessie) we rented from Matt at Urban Peaks was perfect for our weekend kitesurfing, the automatic is super easy to drive, which took the stress out of the long journey. Plus, being able to fold down the back row of seats gave us plenty of space for all our kitesurfing gear.


We arrived at the campsite just before midnight, which meant setting up the tent in the dark. The good news is the tent is easy to put up! The mattress was super comfy and well insulated, a big plus was the heavy dark tent fabric meant we slept in peacefully as no morning light woke us up.


After a windy night spent on top of the van, the sun was shining bright and the wind was still blowing! Perfect conditions for kitesurfing \o/ We fired up the BBQ and had lunch before hitting the beach for some epic kitesurfing.


Overall, a fantastic trip. The van was perfect, and the kitesurfing conditions were unreal!


We can't wait for our next trip in the van.
