Meet the Yumping editorial team

Find all the inspiration and advice you need for your adventure

Our team

Yumping.co.uk is your one-stop shop for adventure sports experiences in UK & Ireland. We are here to help you with everything, putting our experience, knowledge and resources at your disposal. We’re able to guide you every step of the way, from the ideas stage right through to the day of the activity - and beyond. We lay everything out in front of you so that you can browse the activity centres, tour guides, experience providers and group leaders that operate in your area and see their prices - as well as last minute deals and special offers - all in one place. To help you choose the right activity for you, you can take a look at reviews left by previous customers, read through our guides on the subject and find handy hints in the articles and blog posts that we publish.

The experiences that we list have been tried and tested by our editorial team. This allows us to offer an unbiased evaluation of the service provided, though we don’t shy away from giving our personal opinions as well. When we’re not out and about in the field, we’re hard at work keeping the directory up to date.

We aim to keep you abreast of the latest trends in the world of adventure sports, while staying on top of any changes to the prices and offers that we already list. We’ll be there when you’re having a look at what’s out there, when the moment comes to choose an activity, when you’re making a reservation, when you’re on your way to enjoy the activity and in the days after to find out how it went.
