GROUP LEADERS
We invest a great deal in the leadership of our walks by providing
BOTH a British leader and local guides! This combination provides you
with the opportunity to gain a good local knowledge from our local
guide whilst also having the backup of our own British leader to ensure
everything runs smoothly and safely. It meets our commitment to the
local economy whilst providing the opportunity to develop the skills
base of local staff. Ultimately we all learn from each other and it is our
way of contributing to responsible tourism.
FRIENDSHIP, ENJOYMENT & GROUP SIZE
The urge to travel and visit remarkable destinations is one reason
people join us. The opportunity to travel with like-minded people is
also important. You’re likely to form good, often life-long, friendships.
This can start with our weekend meets and afterwards the same
weekends can act as a lasting link. We have a maximum group size of
12. This is small enough for a sense of camaraderie and fun to develop
within the group and allows us to provide a first class service. It should
be just like travelling with a group of friends. Around half our clients are
single travellers, whilst others are either couples or groups of friends.
There is usually a good balance of ages and mixes between male and
female walkers.
PRE TRIP WEEKEND MEETS
Our programme of monthly weekend training meets is unique to
Adventure Walks. We invite clients from all Walks to each months
meet, not just one specific weekend, although some have illustrated
talks specific to certain countries or Walks. All weekends provide you<
with the opportunity to meet us, fellow walk members and people
from other Walks or courses. They will provide the opportunity to ask
questions, gather information, check your equipment needs, as well as
having one or two good days walking on the Lake District fells! A full
list of dates will be sent on booking.

HOW WE WALK
Whilst on trek we aim to strike a good balance between freedom of movement and safety. On the whole you will be able to walk at your
own pace in small groups with our leaders and guides working
between us. Walks are generally informal with gathering together at
various points. We feel this allows you the freedom to explore and
intermingle with local people.
