Guides

Knowing what to expect and what to bring on one of our hikes can make all the difference to your experience. The conditions in the hills can vary dramatically depending on the season, location, and type of trip, so being properly prepared helps keep everyone safe and ensures you can fully enjoy your time outdoors. These guides will help you understand what different trips involve and how to pack appropriately for them. Whether it's your first day trip with the club or you're packing for our incredible 5-day winter trip to Scotland, they'll help you feel ready for whatever the hills throw at you. If you have any questions about a specific trip, feel free to reach out to us.
