What we’re about
Creating great value innovative and bespoke adventures; at home and abroad.
FITNESS ADVENTURES MIDLANDS is for those who enjoy the great outdoors; all of our adventures are within the compass of someone with an average level of fitness. But, above all, the Group is for those who embrace fellowship, inclusiveness and fun in the company of like minded people.
At FITNESS ADVENTURES MIDLANDS, there will be something for everyone, ranging from country walks, to weekends away, to adventure activities. Since the Group formed in March 2017, we have canoed, climbed, cycled, hiked, scrambled, run, swum, walked ... and, socialised; of course.
We hope the Group is a platform where you can meet others who might encourage you to pursue that elusive personal goal; maybe to achieve something on that 'bucket list' that requires other, like-minded people. Obviously, the success and longevity of the Group depends upon members embracing the adventures; please become an active member of the Group.
Some of our programmes may well be challenging but all should be within reach of those with an average level of fitness; fellowship and fun is at the centre of all we do.
The Group is about personal well-being; about being comfortable, healthy and happy; embracing the outdoors. Whilst fitness may well be a core value, we are absolutely not a Group of fitness fanatics. Please do not be put off from joining our activities with the 'excuse' you are not fit enough; we hope you will join us, try new activities, visit new places and make new friends.
Our goal is to create programmes where you can enhance your wellbeing in a fun and friendly environment. Our trips will often utilise either expert local guides or specialist instructors in their field; when travelling abroad, this will allow us to explore with local people gaining an insight into the customs, culture and traditions of that country, visiting places 'off the beaten track' and away from the more usual attractions.
FITNESS ADVENTURES MIDLANDS is, above all, about fellowship and fun, exploring new places and enhancing personal well-being. We look forward to welcoming you to our Group.

UNDISCOVERED MOROCCO
Location not specified yetUNDISCOVERED MOROCCO … just £549 per person
Saturday 7 March 2026 to Saturday 14 March 2026
WE RETURN AGAIN TO THIS DRAMATIC LANDSCAPE, sculpted by millions of years of volcanic activity. You will see a geological chaos of buttes and pinnacles, deep gorges and mountains contrasting with the survival of lush and prolific green valleys, date palms and almond groves.
OUR INCREDIBLE EIGHT-DAY ADVENTURE explores the Jebel Saghro, a dramatic and remote landscape between the High Atlas and the Sahara. Along the way, we camp under brilliant night skies, see red-black volcanic rock formations contrasting with lush green oases whilst learning about the culture and lifestyle of the Berber nomads. The video features highlights from previous adventures in this extraordinary landscape:

WITH SO MUCH OF MOROCCO’S TOURISM directed towards the Imperial cities, many of the country’s treasures remain undiscovered, ignored by guidebooks. Much of Morocco’s beauty is found along pathways connecting the mountain ranges that form the bulk of North Africa’s most visited country.
This privately organised adventure is exclusive to Fitness Adventures Midlands; please message for a full trip itinerary.

DATING BACK CENTURIES, MOROCCO IS A COUTRY OF INTRIGUE; an explosion of colour, tradition, soul and spice. Morocco conjures an image of ancient medinas, rolling deserts, blue painted hillside towns, appetising tagines and Berber men wrapped in blue turbans. Yet, beyond this, the diversity is extraordinary; towering peaks, landscape scenes from another world and hospitality that knows no bounds.
A FULLY QUALIFIED AND LICENSED AMAZIGH GUIDE leads our adventure. The Atlas Mountains are home to the Berber people; their real name is Amazigh, meaning 'free people'. We gain an insight into the life of these friendly people as we enjoy their culture, traditions and hospitality. You see traditional adobe villages where people live in ways unchanged for generations.
THE PRICE INCLUDES MOST MEALS on the trek with the Moroccan cuisine a highlight (see full trip description for minimal exclusions). All photographs that accompany this description were taken on our previous Jebel Saghro adventures.
OUR JOURNEY BEGINS AND ENDS in the vibrant imperial city of Marrakech, the spiritual heart of Morocco; a city like no other. Unravel the infamous Medina and Jemaa El-Fna, where you witness the true culture of Marrakech with street sellers, fire eaters and snake charmers.
