One Spark

“Andy and his team guided and supported me recently when I completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge. Having completed it once before a few years earlier, I was very aware of how difficult it was in parts and, if I’m honest, really wasn’t looking forward to those sections! Yet every time I felt that I may be struggling, Andy was there. Not forcing me to pick up the pace or with any roars of ‘c’mon!!’, but instead simply walking by my side at my pace, providing conversation and gentle encouragement. And that made all the difference. The trip was well organised, fun and the communication pre, post and during the challenge consistent and helpful. I probably will not complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks again but if I did, it would be Andy and his team I’d call on. Superb guides and genuinely lovely fellas too👍🏻” Jackie Handy, June 2022

Andy Lindsley

I’m Andy Lindsley and One Spark Outdoor Adventures is my UK based company which specialises in Outdoor Adventure where we strive to pass on our skills and inspire you whether it be in the mountains, on moorland, lowlands, or woodland.

I am a qualified Mountain Leader having been assessed by the Mountain Training Association, and am fully insured for public liability. I am also qualified in Outdoor Pursuits First Aid and Major Incident Trauma Level 3. I hold the Bushcraft Competency Certificate gained through the Institute for Outdoor Learning and have attained the NCFE Level 3 Foraging certificate. I have years of experience in mountainous regions and have been a keen hiker since I was in my early teens. I am committed to the preservation of our natural environment and am a volunteer with the Woodland Trust. I am also a keen aviation enthusiast and some aspects of the mountain days offered by us reflect this. 

The team comprises of me and several other experienced staff who are proficient in specific areas such as mountain leading, bushcraft and survival.  

We offer a wide range of courses, experiences, and challenges. These include guided mountain days in a wide range of areas in the UK and abroad, courses in mountain skills including various stages of navigation and forest and woodland courses which will teach safety and competency in key bushcraft areas as well as more general subjects and appreciation of our natural environment.

We aim to provide courses for all interests, either for individuals or groups, such as corporate team building or personal development. Our key subjects are those skills required to function effectively in remote regions, whatever the terrain, and how to survive – navigation, mountain skills, fire, food, shelter, and water are all essential aspects of this – and these are the disciplines our courses aim to address.

We are also able to build courses or events depending on your own requirements. Let us know what it is you would like, and we will aim to provide it.

Our aim is to provide learning in a non-confrontational environment which you will enjoy, while, if you wish, gently pushing your limits and comfort zones whilst appreciating and nurturing what nature has to offer us in varying terrain and surroundings.

The great outdoors is there for all to enjoy.

All it needs is One Spark, with which you can light that inner fire!
