Diamonds in the Rough Adventures

Having been a member of this trek training group for some time I believe I'm in a position to vouch for the professionalism of the coaches. I love learning from not only the coaches but the other members and I’ve been able to take myself time and time again out of my comfort zone to achieve personal goals I previously didn’t think were possible. This is not a bush walking club. This is a business designed to help women get fit and take on new challenges in a non discriminatory manner. I’ve found my tribe and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending it to anyone wanting to have a go. Age is no barrier just a good level of health and fitness and a willingness to take on new challenges.

Diamonds in the Rough or DITRA are a fabulous bunch of like minded and supportive women led by inspirational, encouraging and knowledgeable coaches and guides. Absolutely love training with them every week... and every training session is different. Trek training with DITRA has given me back the fitness and confidence I needed. Highly recommend.

I love Diamond in the Rough Adventures! They are all about getting people out, in nature and moving. And the great thing is the focus is not on the exercise for exercise sake but on the adventure you are training for or having! Would highly recommend to anyone who's not filled with joy by simply going to the gym :)

Diamonds in the Rough offer a range of fantastic adventures. All activities I have attended have been well organised from delicious food to great coaches! If you want a new experience or just get out in nature, these are the guys to contact.

Jo, Michele and their team work tirelessly to create wonderful unique day and multi day adventures.Each session of trek training includes a combination of walking/hiking, rock scrambling, summit training on stairs and hills, reflection, endurance and experiencing all this in beautiful natural surroundings.All in all Diamonds in the Rough Adventures is made up of a wonderful group of women intent on improving their fitness, supporting each other, sharing laughs and always planning and training for our next adventure together.

If your looking for a great outdoor, fun, trek training group...look no further! Not only will you get fit you will have fun doing it and meet the most amazing group of women and trainers around. So friendly and welcoming, the training challenging yet fun and their adventure days & events are the best!

The group is awesome! I was worried about hiking fitness & carrying a pack post hip-replacement surgery, the group training was fantastic, not just for fitness but you’ll meet lots of like-minded walkers and gain lots of training & hiking tips! I highly recommend the Diamonds, the coaches are all supportive & encouraging!

Diamonds in the Rough provided plenty of training weekends plus practical experience over the last few months, so now I feel prepared for my first long (eight days and nine nights) hike, even though parts of it will be wet and cold. Very calm. professional and friendly.

I feel so proud to be able to call myself a Diamond! Diamonds in The Rough Adventures has played a big part in improving my health and fitness over the last two years. Trek training and adventure days are lead by experienced and knowledgeable coaches who inspire you to challenge yourself and do your best. The friendships I've made through being a Diamond are something I'll treasure forever!

What a fantastic hiking community to be a part of. Particularly through this challenging year, the coaches have been very supportive and knowledgeable in navigating covid and maintaining and safe but fun way to keep connected and focus on our training to prep us for all the adventures ahead. Thanks DITRA!
