Backpacking and wild camping

​
There's no better way to fully experience the mountains than spending a night out in them. Backpacking is a fantastic way to get away from the hustle-bustle of life and to truly relax in the best surrounds you could ask for. We offer backpacking trips completely suited to your desires, whether it be a night out wild camping by a Lake District tarn, or a week-long backpacking trip from campsite to campsite through the Scottish Highlands. Get in touch to discuss your ideal trip with us.

• Long-distance National Trails, e.g. The Pennine Way, Coast to Coast, West Highland Way.

Gear you'll need

Backpacking trips can either be done by camping, or by staying in B&Bs/hostels along the way, and gear you'll need varies depending on what you chose to do. We'll discuss this further with you when you make a booking, but more detail about general requirements can be found here. One thing you will need if camping is a tent, but if you don't have one don't worry, as we can sort out hiring one for you.
