All inclusive packages mean we do the worrying

If you've ever tried independent travelling you'll appreciate how many valuable holiday hours can be eaten up by such mundane things as finding a map shop or bus timetable. Then there's the stress and worry of not knowing where you'll be able to lay your head that night and, above all, the burden of carrying everything you need with you all the time. 
If you want to avoid all that and yet DON'T want to walk in a guided group you'll appreciate our package than minimises holiday hassles leaving you maximum freedom to enjoy the sort of holiday YOU want.

Your Trek Pack - Local Knowledge at your Fingertips When we meet you at the start of your holiday we'll give you your Trek Pack. A folder bursting with all the information you'll need to tailor-make your holiday. You'll be able to mix and match walking with sightseeing or public transport to make the holiday you want. This Pack will include; 
  1. An Ordnance Survey Map (or maps) marked with our route suggestions. (there's usually a choice each day) 
  2. Notes to accompany the map 
  3. Relevant bus and train timetables and the 'phone numbers of taxi firms 
  4. Other useful addresses, phone numbers and emergency information 
  5. Background notes on local geology, language, natural history, etc. 
  6. Details on what to see and do in each village 
  7. Brochures and leaflets about castles, tourist attractions etc. and other local sights of interest 
A Trek Tailored to You 
We have two main treks for you to chose from - the gentle Valleys and Villages or the slightly more strenuous Castle to Castle but we can go further and recommend different routes according to your inclinations. We can quote for, and arrange, treks for the number of nights you wish including, for example, more than one night in one place. Normally treks to start on a Saturday but we can arrange for any start day you choose. 

Also when we meet you and go through your Trek Pack we can recommend routes tailored to you. If you're an experienced rock scrambler wanting exhilarating ridges and gullies, or a more gentle rambler wanting to combine half-day walks with castle visiting, or a bird watcher, a geologist or whatever, we'll have plenty of ideas of routes for you. 

Skills and Equipment - A Word of Warning 
Snowdonia contains the largest, highest area south of the Scottish Highlands. As with all mountainous regions the weather can vary from very hot to cold, wet and windy and can change rapidly. It is therefore essential to be properly clothed and equipped - we will send you a list of clothing suggestions when you book. Also, part of the upspoilt attraction of the area is that, unlike many overseas walking areas, there are few signs and waymarks and, even for our low level routes, you will need to be able to read a map.
