Wild Camping in Snowdonia - London Escape

Have been on three trips (Wild Camping Snowdonia, Lakes District, Brecon Beacons) with them. After two years travelling all over Europe, would have to say these trips have been definite highlights! Our guide was friendly, evidently highly experienced and all the trips have been well-organised and fun. The groups are a good size, and a great option if you want to get away from the city. Highly recommended!

He takes small groups (up to 8 customers) into the mountains and arranges the transport, accommodation and logistics. Then the good bit. He’s an experienced mountain guide so he takes you on adventures. I’ve enjoyed many summits, wild camping, amazing locations, wild swimming and great mountain food. And on the way I have met so many excellent people on the trips. It turns out that people called to the mountains are almost always lovely.

Having had no previous experience of hiking, i was put at ease by the knowledgeable and experienced guide leader. Two trips in and it keeps getting better, my confidence has grown, as has my love of the mountains. More trips are planned, do yourself a favour if your unsure and just do it.

Another fantastic weekend with them in Snowdonia. Absolutely loved it! He is a great company and a real people person. He's trustworthy, reliable, well-organized and well-prepared. He's a qualified and experienced mountain guide. He makes mountain walking and climbing so much fun. He's looking after everyone in the group helping people who need a bit more support and offering challenges to those more experienced and keen to test themselves. He makes it so easy by taking care of the accommodation, transport and food including delicious sandwiches and wraps for packed lunches. The leader knows the routes off the beaten track to give one a chance to experience the beauty of the majestic mountains away from the mobbed popular tourist destinations.

I’ve done a number of weekend trips around the UK with this group and it’s become my favourite UK hiking group because: (1) the group size is kept small – maximum 8 plus the leader so everyone tends to get to know each other a bit better and its always easy to ask the hiking leader questions and get advice; (2) transport from London is included/ arranged for you (no travel uncertainty); (3) the destinations and routes are varied and interesting, and generally off the beaten track so you feel like you have the hills almost to yourselves and not just following a horde of tourists up a standard trail. Some of the routes have been harder than others but the leader has been great at guiding people and I have never felt totally out of my depth or unable to do a route because it was too difficult. Instead, I’ve been able to go up peaks and routes I never would have considered before. Also, he is really good at tailoring the routes to the weather at the last minute, to make the best of the conditions at any time. (4) Breakfasts and lunches (on the treks) are provided so we don’t have to worry about bringing or sourcing it. Can't wait for the next trip!

I've been on two trips now with them and both have been stellar. We've been on some classic crags & scrambles in beautiful locations; the people have been absolutely amazing and the small group size makes it easy to get to know everyone; and the pre-arranged transport is a big bonus. He is an excellent leader - laid back but responsible. And the lunchtime wraps have been delicious ;-). Looking forward to a week in Scotland with them in the new year!

Travelling back from superb weekend away. Would highly recommend joining him on any of his trips. Worth every penny!

Our leader and his team are stars. Love the small groups and off the beaten track trips. Three done so far and I will be back for more!

Jonathan, Wild Camping Snowdonia

I’ve been on 3 trips with them (tomorrow being my 4th), each and every trips has been such a great and wonderful experience. The trips are very well organised, our leader has a great attitude and is a reliable leader, I really enjoy my trips. The groups are small enough for him to pay attention to every person in the group. Keep doing what you’re doing and thanks for the adventures! Till next time

was surprised how there weren't more ppl exploring this part of Snowdonia NP! The packed lunches, Saturday night pub meal and breakfast and Sunday afternoon cake stop were were all great - I struggled to finish all my food! Would definitely recommend them for weekend hiking trips from London - everything is organised from beginning to end for you, all you have to do is hike and have fun!
