Walking

Description

Join us on our favourite walks in the lovely, varied and exciting scenery of Lakeland, or the majestic Continental mountains of the Pyrenees and Dolomites.

Walking can be done at any time of year, and some of our most popular tramps take us into the winter fells of the Lake District and Scottish Highlands.

The maximum number in any given party is six (6).

Location

Most of our walking is in the Lake District, but we also offer trips to the Isle of Skye, Isle of Arran and the Scottish Highlands..

Conditions / Level of Difficulty / Fitness Requirements

We cover a wide spectra of difficulty from beginner to expert, so whether it is your first time or one of many, we can cater to your particular needs or desires. Our clients range from young to old and from low to high fitness, and neither age or physical condition are barriers to an enjoyable holiday with Go Higher. We have found that the most important factor in you achieving your goals is self-confidence, which we believe we can enhance.

As a general guide, our walks typically span a 7 to 8 hour day, and we will cover between 6 and 10 miles daily and ascend between 2,000 and 3,000 feet. Distance and height gain will be balanced, however, ensuring a pleasant pace, with time to appreciate our surroundings.

Go Higher will provide:

• instructor/s;
