Example Adventures

Here are a few of our favourite routes.

But let us know what you're after and we'll tailor something just for you

Every walk is tailored to you — your goals, your pace, your curiosity.


We offer both circular and linear routes, ranging from 9 to 26 miles. Each day begins with a short welcome, a safety briefing, and a chat about the route ahead.

 

Out on the trail, we typically walk 3 to 4 miles between breaks, pausing to take in points of interest, watch wildlife, or simply enjoy the view. There are regular stops to refuel, rest, and soak up the experience — because it’s not just about distance, it’s about connection.

​A note on timings and difficult ratings. 

 

Timings are estimates but can vary based on the pace of the group and the curiosity of the group to explore the landscape around them. 

 

Difficulty levels are our subjective rating based on distance and the amount of up and downhill. Please contact us if in doubt and you have any questions.

Lake District

Lake District Adventures

From iconic summits to peaceful valleys, this is a land shaped by water, rock, and time. Whether you're after a big day out, wild camping, or something gentler, we’ll guide you through it — always at your pace.

Buttermere Base

A quieter corner of the Lakes with everything you need for a wild escape.


Two connected lakes ideal for swimming or paddleboarding, peaceful valleys, tumbling waterfalls, and direct access to classic fells like Haystacks. Stay at a cosy pub, farm shop, or campsite — and if you’re up for a challenge, add in a day at Honister Slate Mine’s via ferrata.


Perfect for one-day walks or multi-day adventures.

⛰ Buttermere – Black Sail Hut – Haystacks Round

A big day in the hills.
Climb over a series of Wainwrights to reach Haystacks, one of the Lake District’s most loved peaks. We stop at the remote Black Sail Hut (yes, there's cake!) before descending through ancient forest beside the lake.

Peak District

Peak District Adventures
High moorland, gritstone edges, deep valleys and history beneath your feet. The Peak District is wild in a quiet way — full of surprises, solitude, and stories. A great spot for day walks, long loops, and weekends with both comfort and challenge.

 

Edale Valley Base

The heart of the High Peaks.


Edale is a perfect base for exploring Kinder Scout, Mam Tor, and the dramatic edges above the Derwent reservoirs. Castles, caves, and ancient trails all lie within reach — and the village itself has welcoming pubs, cafés, and places to stay.

Kinder Scout & the Peat Plateau
A wild landscape with a radical past.
Site of the 1932 mass trespass, Kinder Scout helped pave the way for National Parks and public access. Today, it’s a dramatic upland National Nature Reserve — a landscape of open moor, gnarled gritstone, and streams tumbling into hidden cloughs. It’s rich in wildlife and always a little wild.

 

⛰ Jacobs Ladder, Kinder Downfall & Summit Loop

A classic Peak District circuit.
We leave from Edale village, cross rolling farmland and woodland to the base of the plateau, and climb steadily up Jacobs Ladder. From the edge, we follow the moor to Kinder Downfall — the Peak’s iconic waterfall — before heading deeper into the open uplands and returning to the valley floor. Finish with a brew or pint in Edale.

Cairngorms

Cairngorms Adventures

The biggest, boldest and wildest landscape in the UK. Five of the UK’s six highest mountains are here, wild beaches, and Tolkien-like forests. Take the sleeper train for a multi-day wild camping expedition or base yourself in Aviemore for stunning day hikes.

There is an endless choice of adventures to be had but always remember the weather is extremely changeable and can be wild, so we have to be prepared to adapt plans before and during our adventures. 

These are a few of our favourite single day and multi day adventures and we can tailor these or design a bespoke adventure to meet your personal goals. 

 

⛰ Ben Macdui via Cairn Gorm Mountain

A full day on the high plateau.
This is a big, committed hike to the summit of Ben Macdui — the UK’s second-highest mountain — with a climb over Cairn Gorm along the way. Expect over 1000 metres of ascent, around 16km of rugged terrain, and a real sense of scale and space. This is a place of wide horizons, shifting skies, and uninterrupted views over a sea of mountains and ancient forest. A proper mountain day in one of Scotland’s wildest corners.

⛰ One, Two or Three Magical Lochs

A gentler day out with forest, water, and wild beauty.
This lower-level walk explores some of Scotland’s most iconic lochs and the ancient Caledonian forest of Rothiemurchus. Starting from Aviemore, we make our way through peaceful woodland to Loch an Eilein, where a ruined island castle watches over still waters.
From there, we can journey deeper into wilder ground following rivers and quiet trails to the dramatic, glacial bowl of Loch Einich, tucked beneath towering cliffs. Or head instead to Loch Morlich, home to the UK’s highest sandy beach and framed by pine forest and mountain views. 
Each loch has its own atmosphere, and routes can be tailored to suit your energy, the weather, and what kind of experience you’re after whether it’s a gentle wander, a longer wild loop, or time to simply sit and soak it all in.
Consider throwing in a wild camp or campsite if you prefer facilities and you can do all three Lochs and be tempted by a wild swim? 

Time: 4 hours to full day (flexible)

⛰ A Wild Taster

A big day through ancient forest and high mountain passes.
This route gives you a real flavour of the Cairngorms’ wild heart without summiting a single Munro. We follow wild rivers, cross the boulder-strewn Chalamain Gap (a known avalanche spot in winter), and enter the vast glacial valley of the Lairig Ghru, one of Scotland’s most dramatic mountain passes.
The return leg winds through the ancient pines of Rothiemurchus Forest, where red squirrels dart between trees and the quiet is thick and timeless.
It’s a tough and rewarding day, with rough ground underfoot and long hours on the move perfect for those with good fitness and a thirst for adventure. The landscapes are unforgettable.

Multi day adventure ideas

We’ve included one of our favourite trips here but there are so many options if you want a multi day adventure get in touch to discuss your specific request. 

⛰ Aviemore to Blair Atholl – 3 Days / 2 Nights Wild Camping

A true wilderness journey through the heart of the Cairngorms.
This is a proper adventure. Three days on foot, crossing one of Scotland’s great mountain ranges, wild camping beneath the stars, and finishing with a well-earned meal in Blair Atholl.
Day 1 We set off from Aviemore after a good breakfast and any last bits of kit shopping, heading straight into the ancient pines of Rothiemurchus Forest. From here, we enter the dramatic glacial valley of the Lairig Ghru, a historic drovers' route that cuts deep through the Cairngorm plateau.
As we climb into the pass, there’s a choice: stick to the valley floor or, if energy and weather allow, take the high line over the mighty Munros — Braeriach, Cairn Toul, and The Devil’s Point for a demanding but unforgettable ridge walk.
We spend the night near Corrour Bothy, either inside or camping beside it. There’s a composting toilet but no facilities, this is remote, off-grid, and incredibly beautiful. Water is abundant, and food is whatever we’ve carried with us.
Day 2 begins with breakfast and breaking camp. If we didn’t do the high route the day before, there’s a chance to summit The Devil’s Point for a jaw-dropping view into the glen.

We follow the upper reaches of the River Dee, crossing through high valleys and gradually descending towards Glen Tilt. Expect wild, open country, unbridged river crossings (wet feet guaranteed), and sweeping views in every direction.
Camp for the night is near the Falls of Tarf, a favourite spot of Queen Victoria, and for good reason. If you’re up for it, the plunge pools here offer one of the best wild swims in the Highlands.
Day 3 is a gentler finish, with easier trails underfoot and the option of one final Munro for those with legs still full of energy. We wind our way down Land Rover tracks through forest and alongside wild rivers before reaching Blair Atholl where a hot meal and celebratory drink are well deserved.
This is a remote and committing journey that demands a good level of fitness and confidence in wild terrain. But the rewards are deep: stillness, challenge, and the kind of connection you only get from time in the wild.

Time: 3 full days

Difficulty:                                             to

(depending on route choices and weather)

​Accommodation: wild camping (and possibly a night in Corrour Bothy)
Logistics: ideal for sleeper train travel, with stations at both Aviemore and Blair Athol
