uk hikes
In the UK we are blessed with some of the most beautiful and varied landscapes and mountains.
From the sharp edges of Snowdonia to the arctic landscape of the Cairngorms there are endless possibilities for hiking, scrambling and adventure.
We will take you ‘off the beaten track’ wild hiking in wild places.
overseas trips
We look beyond the well travelled. We search out amazing locations where a wild hiking adventure is guaranteed. Hiking through wild areas we will spend time to experience the culture and hospitality of the local people.
mountain running
You don’t have to be a super fit runner to enjoy running in the mountains. Some of the time you will not be running especially on steep slopes or on exposed terrain. The essence of running in the mountains is to go light, move efficiently and run where you can.
bespoke Hikes and Trips
If you have a particular time you want to go away, a particular objective, or a group of friends or club members you want to go away with, Wild Hikes can tailor make a trip for you. We will listen to your ideas and suggest a number of possibilities either based on our existing itineraries or something completely new. Using the extensive experience we have exploring the UK and locations overseas we will be able to suggest exciting and authentic Wild Hikes locations.
scrambling
Scrambling is an exhilarating way to climb a mountain or traverse a ridge. Because you are concentrating on placing your feet and finding the next handhold you hardly notice the amazing progress you have made in getting to the top. Group sizes are kept small for scrambling with a leader to client ratio not more six clients to one leader. Any ability can be catered for.
navigation training
Within all our UK hikes and scrambles we can combine an element of navigation into the day. This is a great way to learn how to use a map and compass and to gain a greater appreciation of the terrain and mountains around us.
wild camping
Spending the night out in a wild location is a wonderful way to experience the tranquility, isolation and the beauty of the mountains. We can also bivouac without tents if no rain is forecast. Wild camping is normally combined with a two days hike. It’s also a great way to cut down on accommodation costs!
