Booking that understands the fells

Outdoor activity businesses need things a normal booking plugin does not: meeting points with no postcode, group sizes that have to be reached before a trip runs, activities spread from the Northern Fells to the southern lakes, and guests who choose by where they are staying. Our Outdoor Pursuits Booking system was built with a Cumbrian mountain guide around those exact problems.

A page for every activity

Each walk, scramble or session gets its own page and address, so each can be found on Google on its own.

What3Words meeting points

Guests get a precise three-word location on their confirmation, not 'meet at the car park' in the fells.

Find Your Walk map

An interactive map of activities, so visitors staying in Keswick or Coniston can see what is nearby.

Gift vouchers

Sell vouchers online for birthdays and Christmas, emailed with a code that can be redeemed against any activity.

Group size rules

Minimum and maximum numbers per activity, so trips only run when they are viable and never overfill.

Galleries

Big, full-width photo galleries for each activity, because the scenery is what sells the day.

Proof

Running at Way Out West Mountain Adventures

Way Out West Mountain Adventures, in the western Lake District, takes bookings through our system. Guests choose activities on a What3Words map, see a colour-coded calendar, pay through Stripe at around 1.4% in card fees and can buy gift vouchers, while capacity is tracked for every session.

Every activity can be found on its own

Each activity gets its own clean address, such as a page for a Great Gable ridge walk or an Ullswater paddle, with its own title, description and structured data. Add a new activity and its page and booking calendar appear automatically.

Meeting points

No more lost guests in the fells

Car parks and lay-bys in the Lakes rarely have useful postcodes. What3Words gives each meeting point a precise three-word address that guests can open in their phone's map, so they arrive in the right place on time.

Easy schedule management for activity sessions

Scheduling

Easy to manage, even in peak season

Add dates, set capacity and close sessions from the WordPress dashboard. The calendar shows guests what is available at a glance, and you see who is booked onto each session.

Vouchers

Sell experiences as gifts

Gift vouchers are popular with families buying for walkers and climbers. They are sold through your website, emailed with a unique code and redeemed against any activity, bringing in income in the quieter months.

An activity business in control of its own bookings

Independence

Your business, not a marketplace

Activity marketplaces take a cut of every booking and own the customer relationship. With your own booking system, guests book with you, you keep their details for next season and you set your own prices and rules.

Pricing

Set-up and licence, quoted clearly

The system is installed on your WordPress website with a one-off set-up fee and an ongoing licence, both set out in your quote. Hosting and maintenance start from £25 a month.
