Come and test yourself with ‘the grand edale circular’ with us on saturday, the 17th of Feb. you must come to this if you want to come to scotland so we can make sure everyone is able for it.

distance: 31km

elevation gain: 972m

length: 11 hours

difficulty: very tough

the aim for this hike is to give you an idea of what scotland willbe like, before paying and committing to it.

To make this a fair test, you must emulate a wild camp loadout as best you can - bring a tent, sleeping bag etc so you can see what it’s like to walk with considerable pack weight.

grab a ticket through the link in bio. there are 25 tickets available. if there is interest for a second taster we can organise another.
