✅ Guided Hikes: Each hike has a dedicated walk leader, most often with experience of leading groups ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. However, not all our walk leaders are qualified and although you walk at your own risk, it is thought to be safer walking in groups than individually. Safety
✅ Socialize and Relax: You can choose to socialise during the hike or if you prefer to get lost in nature and absorb the scenery you can. Wrap up your hike at a cosy pub or café, where you can relax, grab a drink, and connect with fellow hikers.
