Join us for the iconic Three Peaks in Three Days Challenge – a fantastic adventure and a great way to experience the best mountain ranges that Britain has to offer in one long weekend! The Three Peaks in Three Days Challenge involves climbing the highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales over three days, one peak per day, whilst taking in the magnificent scenery these countries have to offer.

To maximise the enjoyment and the chances of successful ascents of all peaks, we'll travel to Scotland one day before, on Friday, staying overnight near Glasgow. We'll then start with Ben Nevis (1,345m) on Saturday, climb Scafell Pike (978m) in England on Sunday and finish with Snowdon (1,085m) in Wales on Monday! All routes will be guided by an experienced Mountain Leader, who has completed this challenge many times in the past (including the much tougher National Three Peaks Challenge in 24 Hours!). Throughout the whole trip, we'll use a private minibus with a dedicated professional driver.

Come and join us for a truly magical hike to the Cotswolds to explore some of the most beautiful villages in Britain!

Think honey-coloured cottages, cosy pubs, tiny tearooms and narrow streets. The unspoilt market towns and villages of the Cotswolds have a quintessential English charm found nowhere else in the world. It really is a unique experience!

We'll begin our hike at the charming old wool merchants' town of Chipping Campden, home to one of the prettiest high streets in England. Our trail will take us to the picturesque Cotswold villages of Broadway and Snowshill, through some of the Cotswolds’ best scenery. This walk has plenty of viewpoints to stop and admire gorgeous panoramic views of dramatic escarpments, rolling hills (the ‘wolds’) and woodlands. The whole walk is within the protected Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the largest of the 38 AONBs in England and Wales. After the hike, we'll enjoy a well-deserved pint at the traditional 15th-century Snowshill Arms pub.

HIKE HIGHLIGHTS

Ready to embark on an epic and challenging ‘miniature mountain range’ adventure? Then join us on a day hike to the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty! We'll walk south to north, taking in all the main summits of the Malvern Ridge. This is a difficult hike with lots of ascents and descents. However, all our efforts will be well-rewarded by the dramatic scenery!

Rising abruptly from the flat lands of the Vale of Severn in the east and from the rolling hills of Herefordshire in the west, the Malvern Hills reach 425 metres at their highest point, Worcestershire Beacon. The spectacular landscapes and a wealth of ecological, historical and geological gems make them a unique destination. Did you know that at about 700 million years old, the rocks that form the Malvern Hills are some of the oldest in the UK?

The lofty hill range of the Malvern has attracted local tribes since prehistoric times. The summits offered good vantage points and were ideal for defence in troubled times. We'll pass the impressive ramparts of the Iron Age hill forts of British Camp and Midsummer Hill, thought to be over 2,000 years old. We'll also visit the famous man-made Hermit's Cave (also known as Clutter's Cave), cut out of the ancient rock at some unknown date.

Our hike will finish at Great Malvern, which was a popular spa town retreat for both the Georgians and the Victorians. For centuries, the Malvern Hills have been well-known for their health-giving spring waters. Many famous people came to Malvern to ‘take the cure’, including Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens.

DISTANCE & DIFFICULTY

Distance: 9 miles (14km).
Ascent: 760m.

Come and join us as we discover Sandringham – the much-loved country retreat of Her Majesty The Queen and the private home of four generations of British monarchs since 1862. The Royal Family traditionally spends Christmas and New Year at Sandringham House. On this day hike, we'll explore the Sandringham Country Park, which the Royal Family opened to visitors in 1968. The trail will take us through open heath and picturesque woodlands, planted mainly with Corsican and Scots pines, mixed with oak, sweet chestnut and birch.

We'll then head to the elegant seaside resort of Hunstanton, famous for its unique red and white striped cliffs. Walking along the beach, we'll see three distinctive layers of rock: at the top is white chalk (Ferriby Chalk Formation), followed by red chalk (Hunstanton Formation) and orange carstone (Carstone Formation) at the cliff base. You'll have time to discover the story and legend of St Edmund, Hunstanton’s most famous visitor and the first Patron Saint of England, by following Wolf Trail. At the end of the day, we'll relax by the North Sea and watch the waves, and, perhaps, the brave ones will even go for a swim! Hunstanton is one of the most popular sunset spots in Norfolk due to its unique position – it's the only east coast resort that faces west.

This trip is suitable for BEGINNERS – a great way to experience hiking before joining our more difficult trips! 🤩
