Activities

There are many different types of mountaineering, from exploring Britain’s hills in summer or winter to scaling Himalayan peaks.

Winter conditions are usually defined as any time when the ground is covered with snow or ice. These extra difficulties and skills make winter walking an exciting challenge.

Trail running is an extension of the ‘fast and light’ approach, often using minimal and lightweight kit to move more quickly off-road, through hills and mountains.

Multi day hikes offer a chance to really get away from it all, leaving the everyday routine behind.

The UK is abundant with great day walk options and doing your research in advance will often unlock a range of routes that are accessible within a day, no matter where you live. 

Some of the most popular days out in the British mountains are scrambles, including hill walking routes that also take in ridges or exposed technical ground, requiring hands and feet to be used to travel safely.
