Hill Walking Days

There’s no better way to relax and recharge than to spend a day or two exploring the mountain regions of the British Isles. When taken into our mountains for the first time most people can’t believe such beautiful landscapes and scenery can be found just a few hours’ drive from their own home. Taking the time to explore the British mountains is incredibly rewarding – after just a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you’ll start to wonder if you are even in the same country.

If you’d like to experience the magnificent wilderness regions of England & Wales, but don’t currently have the necessary skills then Fitways Adventures are the perfect partner to get you into the thick of it.

The Routes

Rather than specify the route we will be taking in advance, the Fitways Adventures team prefer to make this decision in consultation with our guests. The weather forecast will also play a key role when determining the optimum route choice. If you have a particular route or mountain in mind, please let us know in advance so we can make every effort to accommodate your wishes.
