Thank you for your interest in joining one of our hiking holidays.
We want all our clients to enjoy their trip to the fullest extent possible, so we ask you to take a moment to read through the information below.
Our outdoor activities and self-guided hiking tours, can sometimes be quite demanding and physically challenging, therefore we feel it is of high importance for all our clients to be fully aware of the kind of trip they will be joining.
Whilst we don’t want to put anyone off experiencing one of our trips, we ask that you carefully read through the trip notes for the trip you have selected and realistically self-assess your ability to complete the trip as described. Please consult with your doctor and/or us, if you have any doubts.
A positive attitude and an open mind is just as important as your ability to get involved and fully participate on your group trip.
