About Us

Lurgaboy Adventure Centre is a family run business which was set up by Armagh mountaineer Richard Dougan and his partner Arlene Robertson in 2004.  Richard has been passionate about the outdoors from a very young age and was inspired to set up the centre during his successful trip as leader of the Mt Everest expedition from Northern Ireland in 2003.  Since then it has developed into a thriving family business, with involvement Richard's parents and sister Rachel who shares his passion for the outdoors.

We truly believe that the outdoors provides a wonderful environment for developing confidence, breaking down barriers, raising self esteem and having fun!  Using the great outdoors, we strive to offer unique experiences where young people and adults can enjoy adventure and realise their potential.

As a family run business, we aim to offer real value for money and a positive, enjoyable, experience for all.
