Inspired wild camping adventure!
Sunset . . . on Scafell Pike

Classic Lake District walking
14th/15th August 2010

Nature: The aim of this is to introduce you to wild camping. And while you will need to be fit enough to carry a rucksack full of your kit to the top of a big Lake District hill - we also allow plenty of time for it - making this an ideal first adventure for those of you itching to try out your new tent! We won’t camp on Scafell Pike – but close enough to get some photographs from it as the sun sets and the light is at its best … camera and tripod could be called for!

Start / Finish: Stonethwite
Accommodation: camping (tents available for use free of charge)
Price per person: £95 guiding and dinner Saturday night

Will4Adventure Green Weekend The Edale Skyline – The Dark Peak
11th – 12th September 2010

Nature: Leave the car at home and travel by train to the Peak District for this wild getaway. You’ll be met in Hope on Friday night and guided in by the light of your head-torch to this remote converted barn – accessible only by foot, 4WD and helicopter (and we don’t have a 4WD or helicopter). Warmed by the large open fire we’ll talk through Saturday’s plans … if there were such a thing – this would be the haute route of the Peak District! We wake up, already on the hill and starting high so that’s where we’ll stay starting with a traverse of the southern edge of Kinder Scout. Our route will continue on the high ground taking in the wonderful ridge line that stretches from Brown Knoll all the way to Lose Hill. Depending on how people are doing we may just sneak in a crafty ascent of Win Hill before heading back for an endorphin high, tasty meal and maybe a cheeky glass of wine back at the barn. Sunday will be a relaxed walk back to Hope – to enjoy coffee and papers before the train home.

Distances: Friday night – 3.5 miles; Saturday – up to 19 miles; Sunday – 4 miles
Start / Finish: Hope Railway Station – the Hope Valley, Derbyshire
Accommodation: Crookstone Barn (included). The barn sleeps 23 in four bunk rooms – but we’ll be limiting numbers on this weekend to 12. Note: sleeping bags will be required.
Price per person: £99 - guiding, accommodation, dinner on Saturday night plus breakfasts

Pen y Fan
South Wales Classic - The Brecon Beacons

25th/26th September 2010

Nature: For me this is where it all began - my first mountaineering adventure all those years back aged 14 with the Air Cadets and I never tire of returning! Everyone loves this hill - the highest in South Wales: for its beauty by walkers and for its challenge by the SAS! However you take it - you can be sure of a great weekend on the hill with these great two days in the Brecons. This weekend of walking is ideal for the novice to hill walking too!

Base point: Talybont on Usk
Accommodation: Camping / B&B to suit

Royal British Legion Poppy AppealIn aid of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal
Remembrance Sunday on Great Gable plus Classic Lake District walking with a round of Catbells to Hindscarth

8th / 9th November 2010
The Lake District

Nature: Saturday’s walk takes us on a wonderful round of hills local to Keswick and Derwentwater. This 11 mile hike leads us over Catbells heading south to Maiden Moor and High Spy, before turning back via the high point, Hindscarth at 727m. On Sunday we head from Honister Pass along the most direct route to the summit of Great Gable to take part in the Remembrance Sunday service at 1100. It is an amazing experience, joined on this wild wind-swept hill by a cast of thousands (maybe hundreds) for this moving two minute service.

Start / Finish: Keswick
Accommodation: Keswick - B&B, YHA, or camping
Price per person: £45 – All profits go to the Royal British Legion.

The Royal British Legion provides financial, social and emotional support to millions who have served and are currently serving in the Armed Forces, and their dependants. Currently, nearly 10.5 million people are eligible for their support and they receive thousands of calls for help every year. We strongly feel this day should be marked not as any kind of celebration of war but as an act of remembrance to those who have served on our behalf.

Will4Adventure Green Weekend Marsden to Edale – The High Peak
5th February 2011

Nature: Leave the car at home – and use the train to access this great trek which aims to cover the first two days of the Penine Way (in a single day). This is an arduous day’s trek across the toughest terrain the Peak District can throw at you … This trek traverses approximately 25 miles of rough, wild, moorland and is unrelenting in its challenge with the culmination crossing the highest point of the Peak – Kinder Scout. Once completed, a genuine sense of achievement will immediately follow (and flow). On a good day this walk should take 9 hours – but on a bad day with the weather against us it could take as long as 14 hours!

Base Point: Marsden (Friday night) / Edale (Saturday night)
Accommodation: Camping / YHA / B&B to suit
Price per person: £40 guiding only

The Welsh 3000s
Snowdonia - 14 Great mountains inside 3 Great Days

28th – 30th May 2011 bank holiday weekend

Nature: A weekend of challenging walking that aims to bag Wales' fourteen 3000ers: from Foel Fras to Mount Snowdon. For some (actually most) people, bagging all of Wales' highest mountains inside one or two days is near on impossible. Here we offer a civilised alternative - allowing you to take a crack at this challenge over three great hill days. Beware - these remain mountain days and hence a head for heights and mountain fit legs are still a pre-requisite!

A Note on Wild Camping

Wild camping - it's natural, it's organic, it's low carbon footprint and everyone's talking about it. It's the new 'in thing' and it's about time that you tried it!

Normally when you go camping you would book into a roadside campsite - pay your money and erect your tent next to your car. When you are wild camping you walk several miles into the middle of nowhere, select your spot and pitch your tent. It's that simple.

True you have to carry your tent, and there won't be a shower block when you get there. But there is a certain excitement and romance about solitude in the wilderness. And it doesn't matter what the weather is like - it can be absolutely storming and howling or a beautiful vista out there, either way you'll be chuckling with excitement - it's really that great. Perched on a hill, away from noisy neighbours and busy roads a whole new feeling of contentment and joy will strike to your very core. Get it right and it's brilliant. (We can provide the tents too).

There is a code to wild camping in England and Wales. Broadly it is as follows:

  • The pitch must be out of view of any road
  • You must erect your tent last thing and strike camp first thing
  • Where you camp should be at least 600m above sea level
  • You can not light a fire (for many good reasons)
  • You must not leave any litter (including your loo paper!)
  • And on that note – all ablutions need to be done in a hole and at least 30m down hill of any water source
