We love upland landscapes and we want to open up these experiences for new audiences. New for 2024, we are proud to offer guided walking to our programme of events.
Our guided walks are led by us personally. Jess is a recently qualified Hill and Moorland Leader.
Group numbers are strictly limited to 15 to allow us to provide the experience you need. Each route is graded to allow you to choose the best option for you.
Each event will have a mandatory kit list. As your guides, we will be carrying a first aid kit, group shelter, map and compass. You can bring your own maps and compass along if you wish.
