ITINERARY

DAY 1

  • EXPLORING LUCHON

    Arrival day

Welcome to France! On the first day, your friendly guide will be there to greet you right at the airport. From there, you’ll be whisked away to Luchon, where a comfy hotel in the town center will be your home base. Once settled, you’ll venture out to enjoy a tasty meal amidst the scenic beauty of this quaint mountain town

DAY 2

  • COLLEGATS GORGE

    Rafting

This is going to be an exhilarating day full of laughter as you raft 52 km through an incredible gorge. You’ll experience thrilling white waters and spectacular views of Collegats Gorge and “La Argenteria,” which are said to have inspired Antoni Gaudi when he designed the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. 

This has to be the best rafting activity you’ll find in southern Europe and what a start to the adventures! Once you’re out of the water, head to the lively Spanish town of Vielha for an evening of delicious tapas.

DAY 3

  • 1000 LAKES TREK

    Col de Caldes (2200m)

Following an early breakfast and a short transfer to Banos de Tredos in Catalonia, Spain, you begin this spectacular trek. Starting at the hot springs the trek takes you through Pyrenean black pine and alpine meadows full of flowers. Climbing the Col de Caldes towards the spectacular Pyreneean refuge of Ventosa you’ll pass lakes and rugged, wild landscapes.

Card games and a relaxing dinner with the team are in store for the evening, before downtime and star gazing from this secluded mountain spot. Approx. trekking time: 5-6 hours

DAY 4

  • 1000 LAKES TREK

    Col de Colomers (2605m)

Today is all about discovering the mountain as the trek takes you ever onward and upwards to the high point of Col de Colomers (2605m). Along the way you’ll enjoy the breeze, the entertaining marmots, and the alpine flowers nodding along.

This challenging trek reveals its prize at the end with a stunning panoramic vista that takes in your route from the north as well as the Cirque de Colomers to the south where the jagged peaks of the Pyrenean summits jut into the skyline. Approx. trekking time: 7-8 hours.

DAY 5

  • AIGUESTORTES NATIONAL PARK

    Canyoning

The Aiguestortes National Park is the last of the Pyrenean adventures and with your guide and a specialist canyon guide, you’ll be led through the awe-inspiring limestone canyon of Viu. This seemingly sculpted canyon has a myriad of challenges along the way from abseiling into narrow chambers to boulder scrambles and leaps into deep pools all whilst the sun bounces off the walls in a surreal dance, adding an ethereal quality to the adventure.

A stop on a small beach with a picnic provides ample opportunity to recharge your batteries before a few more hours are enjoyed in this unique canyon. You close out the day back in the quaint town of Luchon for a celebratory dinner after an incredible action-packed week.

DAY 6

  • LUCHON

    Departure day

Although today might bring the trip to an end there may still be time to prolong the adrenaline rush by doing as much or as little as you wish. With your guide and minibus at your disposal, Luchon and its surroundings await! You could try out tandem paragliding or head off into the hills for some mountain biking. If that all sounds a bit vigorous after the fun of the previous night you could also take it easy at the spa or indulge in some people-watching with a coffee in this bustling town. Transfer timings will be advised for your flight home. Please note that the activities above are not included on the itinerary and must either be paid for in situ in cash.

YOUR GUIDE

Your adventure will be led by 360 Expeditions. Since 2008 the 360 team have been leading adventure junkies to remote corners of the globe and bucket list summits. 360 Expeditions was founded by Marni, Rolf and Raj who came together with their decades of experience to craft the most memorable trips imaginable. 

360 Expeditions share our ethos of caring for the local communities that they work with, and have donated over a million pounds to charities.

PYRENEES

The Pyrenees straddle the border between France and Spain for 400+km and rise to 3,400m. The stunning 1000-lakes route through the Parc National d’Aigüestortes i Sant Maurici in Catalonia weaves between winding rivers, sheer ravines, cool lakes, raging waterfalls and fertile marshes, and reaches some of the range’s highest summits, fittingly, ‘Aiguestortes’ means ‘twisted waters’ in Catalan – you’ll see a lot of them! This adventure explores these hidden beauties and embraces the unique camaraderie and warm hospitality of the remotely located mountain refuges. Europe doesn’t have to be tame. This is an amazing adventure of extreme contrasts, taking in Catalonia’s iconic peaks and entering lush valleys rarely seen by travellers. It will challenge everything you thought you knew about European mountains.

THE IMPORTANT STUFF

Is this trip women only?

Yes. At Adventuress in the Wild we work with tour operators who are providing trips for anybody who identifies as a woman. We have found that women are more likely to step out of their comfort zone and try new activities when they are surrounded by other supportive women. All of the tour operators we work with believe that adventure is for every woman no matter your background, ability, body type, or orientation.

 

Where we endeavor to work with tour operators who provide female guides and ground crew, this isn’t always possible for all trips. Therefore your guides and staff on this particular trip will be male. All staff are highly respectful and have worked with 360 Expeditions for many years.

Who is this trip for?

Consider this a trek, although there may be occasion to use hands for short sections of easy scrambling. No previous climbing or trekking experience is necessary. This trip is challenging and a good solid fitness level is required. There will be prolonged walking over varied terrain and you should be training to comfortably walk for 6 to 8 hours, over undulating terrain, with a few punchy uphill climbs, carrying a pack up to 6kg in weight.

Essential Information

When is the final payment date?

25th April 2025

Do I need special insurance for this trip? 

Individual travel insurance is compulsory on this expedition, and you will not be permitted to join without proof of insurance. We will request full details 8 weeks before your departure. 

Your insurance for this trip must include, at a minimum, medical evacuation and coverage up to the maximum altitude of this trip and for the adventure activities included.

Flights aren’t included – what time should I arrive and depart to Toulouse? 

Flights are not included in this trip so your options are open on when to arrive/depart. 

However you may wish to wait until we have confirmed a transfer pickup time with you as we want to make sure you can make it to Toulouse on time and we will confirm what time you should aim to arrive in Toulouse. 

We will also check flight schedules before deciding what time we do an airport drop-off. Once we have told you transfer times, please find flights that work for these times, or arrange a night at either end in Toulouse. If there are any issues with booking your flights, please let us know. Bagneres de Luchon is 1h 40 mins drive away from Toulouse.

What is the accommodation like?

The hotels in Luchon are comfortable and central. 

The mountain refuges throughout the trek are basic but large. Running water and flush toilets are as standard and hot showers are provided although the hot water may run out if demand is high. You’ll be sleeping in dormitories, so earplugs are recommended if you’re a light sleeper! 

Food will be good and generous on the carbohydrates to keep you well fuelled; pasta, rice, potatoes, etc. Food is often flown in by helicopter so keep your expectations realistic. As you will be carrying your kit and prefer not to be weighed down with full camping equipment, we think the refuges are the sensible and more comfortable option.

What happens if I miss the pickup time? 

We suggest that you get as early a flight as possible from the UK to Toulouse. This gives you options if your flight is delayed to get to the starting point. Once flights are released you will be informed of a recommended flight time to meet the airport transfer. If flight delays mean you are seriously out of your allocated time slot, your guide will always do what they can and have on occasion personally done the pick-up. If all else fails, car hire is recommended.

What’s the weather like up there? 

It should be sunny and warm (pretty hot lower down). However, being in the mountains, and not very far from the Atlantic, means there is a risk of rain, thunder, and other inclement weather. So while the Pyrenean climate is generally better than the UK, pack accordingly and check the forecast for a rough indication.

Do I need any technical gear for this? Is equipment provided? 

The standard walking gear outlined in the kit list is sufficient for this trek. All necessary equipment for safety will be provided for the adventure activities. This includes technical equipment like wetsuits, harnesses, and carabiners as well as waterproof barrels for your belongings.

Do I carry my own gear? 

This style of expedition involves a lot less lugging of kit but with the freedom of trekking our own route. Breakfast, packed lunch, and dinner are provided at the refuge each day. You will be carrying your bag for these two days so don’t overpack, take just what you need for the 2 days and all other kit and clothing can be stored in the minibus.

What bag do I need? 

A rucksack of around 30-40L should be fine. It’s ideal to have a bigger bag with space, than a smaller one that you have to fight to get everything in! Your daypack only needs essential items for the day and activities so try to keep it as light as possible. 

You will need a warm layer, waterproof jacket, packed lunch, snacks, spending money, water, camera, sun cream, and personal medication. 

If you are borrowing or purchasing a rucksack, ask someone to help you adjust it to fit your back properly and make the adjustments with the rucksack loaded, not empty. It should sit high on your back with the weight distributed vertically, rather than pulling your shoulders back or sagging below your waist. Take the time to get it right to ensure it is comfortable. A waterproof rucksack or one with a waterproof cover is worth considering as is packing your gear in waterproof stuff sacks in case of heavy rain.

Do I need a sleeping bag? 

No, but it’s recommended packing a sleeping bag liner for extra warmth, comfort, and hygiene (silk or cotton). Blankets will be provided at the refuge.

How fit do I need to be? 

A good fitness level is required for this trip. Prolonged walking over varied terrain with reasonable altitude gains and losses carrying a 6kg pack for 6-8 hours is no small feat. You should consider this a trek, although there may be short patches of easy scrambling. You do not need previous climbing or trekking experience. Making an effort with your fitness levels before you join the trip will have a positive impact and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it a lot more.

Can we swim in the lakes? 

Sure! They’ll be cold, but exhilarating. Don’t feel obliged if it’s not your thing.

Are your instructors qualified? 

Yes, all instructors have the appropriate qualifications.

Where do I get drinking water from?

Bottled or filtered drinking water will be provided during the trip. Please bring your own bottle, to reduce plastic waste where possible. While we’re trekking day you’ll pass streams you can top up from so make sure to bring purification tablets with you.

What is the food like during the trip? 

The food is generous and of very good quality and uses locally sourced ingredients where possible. Pastries, fresh bread, and jams are the usual fare for breakfast and the packed lunches will be simple, but filling. Evening meals will be more substantial affairs, preparing you for a day full of activity.

Are snacks provided during this expedition?

Some snacks are provided while trekking but feel free to bring some from home. Flapjacks, shortbread, sweets, nuts, and chocolate are all useful additions as they travel well and you’ll look forward to the energy boost!

Will my mobile work? 

In the cities. In the countryside it will probably be sporadic. Most UK providers have coverage throughout France and Spain, but you may want to check with your provider before you travel.

Will there be somewhere to charge my phone and camera?

Your hotel will have plug sockets in the rooms, but the charging points in the refuge aren’t always reliable. You may find a powerpack useful (we recommend PowerTraveller) to keep all your tech charged.

Who is my guide for this trip?

This trip is operated by 360 Expeditions.

Kit List

BAGS & PACKS

  • Daypack

Bring a 40-60L rucksack that is well worn in and with a good waist belt. A waterproof cover is advisable (remember that these covers are not 100% waterproof but act as a barrier). You can leave belongings in Luchon for the end of the trek, but while out in the hills you will need to carry all of the kit that you are not wearing.

  • Dry stuff sacks

Rolltop bags that keep fresh clothing and other important items lime your passports and electronics dry in the event of a total downpour that could seep into your kitbag. Good for quarantining old socks! Please note that France has banned plastic bags. In any case, we would always advise buying reusable and sustainable nylon roll top bags for keeping your kit dry.

  • Waterproof rucksack cover

SLEEPING GEAR

  • Sleeping bag liner

Bedding is provided at the hotels / guest houses but you’ll need a sleeping bag liner for your night at the refuge, although blankets are provided.

HEADWEAR

  • Warm Headgear

This can be a warm hat, beanie, balaclava, anything to reduce the heat loss from your head. We’ll hope for sun, but it can be chilly in the mountains – and after the watersports you might be cold after getting out of the water.

  • Wide brimmed hat

Keeps the sun off exposed areas like ears and the nape of the neck

  • Sunglasses

Category 4, wrap around style sunglasses are highly recommended. These sunglasses allow for the highest available protection against harmful UV light found at altitude and from glare from the snow, if there is some at the higher altitudes. It’s worth spending money on good UV filters. 

  • Lip Salve

Sun cream does not work on your lips, and they will be susceptible to sun burn without proper protection.

  • Sunblock

We’d recommend you buy the highest SPF you can find, as UV intensifies with altitude especially when reflecting off the water.

UPPER BODY

  • 2x Baselayer

This is the layer closest to the skin and its principal function is to wick, or draw, moisture and sweat away from the skin.

  • Midlayer

These are typically lightweight microfleeces or similar technology that provide varying degrees of warmth and insulation without being overly bulky or heavy to pack

  • T-shirts

A couple of T-shirts are advisable for this summer expedition.  The days are reasonably warm, with high temperatures at lower altitudes.

  • Hard Shell

These jackets are thin, highly waterproof and windproof and worn over all other items of clothing. You’ll find these made of Gore-Tex or other proprietary waterproof yet breathable technology. Inexpensive hard shells that aren’t breathable will prevent evaporation, making you sweat intensely and, as such, are not recommended.

  • Soft Shell (Optional)

These should be windproof (not all are) and insulative. They are mostly made of soft polyester and sometimes resemble a neoprene finish which makes them very mobile and comfortable to wear. While offering a degree of weather repellence, do note they are usually not waterproof.

  • Gloves

LOWER BODY

  • Shorts

A couple of pairs of shorts are advisable for this summer expedition. The days can be reasonably warm, with high temperatures at lower altitudes.

  • Trekking trousers

These tend to be polyester so they dry quickly after a shower and weigh little in your pack. Consider perhaps a pair with detachable lower legs as an alternative to shorts.

  • Underwear

Merino or wicking material, not cotton. How many pairs you take is entirely up to you!

  • Waterpoof trousers

A lightweight pair of Goretex trousers will act as a great windproof too.

FEET

  • Hiking boots

Well worn in 4 season waterproof boots with mid to high ankle support

  • Spare laces
  • Comfortable Trainers/Crocs

For use in the evenings. With most refuges, you will need to take your boots off when you go in. Some provide croc/slippers but not all. When you go rafting you will need a spare pair of close toed trainers or hardy water shoes that you don’t mind getting wet. 

  • 3x Trekking socks

Whether you wear a single layer, or 2 pairs, is a personal choice. Lighter weight merino wool is a good option.

  • Comfortable Evening Clothes

HYDRATION

  • Water Bottles/Bladder

You’ll need enough to carry 2 litres, either in a combination of bladder and Nalgene bottles, or just Nalgene bottles

  • Water purification

Although generally all water is boiled or brought filtered from the hotel or refuge in the morning, some trekkers prefer to double up and add purification tabs as well. Always good to have in your bag.

TOILETRIES

  • Wash kit 

Keep it simple. Essentials are toothbrush, toothpaste and deodorant. Moisturiser is advisable, everything else is a luxury!

  • Alcohol Gel
  • Toilet paper 

Provided at the accommodation, and at public toilet facilities, but a spare in your daysack may be useful if you need to hide behind a rock during the day.

  • Microfibre towel

Packable & Lightweight!

MEDICATIONS

  • Personal First Aid Kit

The group medical kits are designed to be used in emergencies and are akin to an A&E rather than a pharmacy, so please come prepared with useful meds for yourself such as painkillers (Ibuprofen if you can take it and Paracetamol) plus blister plasters, plasters, antiseptic, rehydration sachets and any muscle rubs you wish to use.

  • Personal medication

Kept in an accessible location in your pack

MISCELLANEOUS

  • Camera

Bring plenty of spare batteries and memory cards. A power pack is handy for keeping things charged in the case of no charging points in the refuges

  • Head torch + A Spare or spare batteries
  • Snacks

Although you will be fed well, we do we advise bringing a small selection of energy bars or your favourite snacks. Have a couple per day.

  • Ear Plugs
  • Penknife (Optional)
  • Swimwear

For the wild swimming, canyoning (you’ll be provided with a wetsuit on this day also) and for any other opportunities throughout the trip if you wish!

  • Trekking poles

Optional, but they can be useful on the trekking sections. These tend to be a personal preference, but can help with your stability and can dampen the pressure on the knees coming down hill. Check with your airline about packing these.

DOCUMENTATION

  • Passport

Don’t forget this! Your passport should have at least 6 months validity: ie. your passport expiry date needs to be at least six months after the final day of travel. Make sure you also have at least two blank pages.

  • Copy of passport
  • Dental checkup 

We recommend you have a dental check-up before your trip. New fillings can be an issue at altitude if there is an air pocket left in the gap

  • Travel Insurance

Bring a copy of your own travel insurance details and relevant contact numbers.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the appropriate insurance for your intended trip, to include at a minimum medical evacuation and coverage up to the maximum altitude and for the relevant activities included on this trip.

I recently joined a weekend trip with Adventuress In The Wild in the Peak District and it exceeded all my expectations! The weekend was filled with well-organised activities, including peaceful hiking in nature, rock-climbing and abseiling.As a first time climber, i felt both excitement and fear, but the encouraging environment made all the difference! Our host, Kate, was friendly and welcoming, ensuring everyone felt included throughout the trip. Kate provided useful information and fun facts, making the trip safe and interesting.One of the best parts was meeting lovely people who shared a passion for the outdoors.I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Adventuress In The Wild to anyone looking for an outdoor adventure!

The Adventuress tour to Morocco was an amazing experience. Our local guide Hafida took us to areas not commonly frequented by tourists and we were privileged to have genuine interactions with local people. A truely memorable trip with a fabulous group of women.

I went to Morocco with Adventuress and it was the trip of the lifetime. Our guide knew all the locals, was kind and generous and gave us an experience that was not overpopulated with other tourists and included unique cultural interactions. Kate herself is thoughtful and mindful of the adventures that she organizes for us.

Been on multiple hikes (Jurassic coast was my favourite) and few overseas trip ( Pyrenees, Queer Malaga trip) with Adventuress. Kate is always extremely welcoming and caring and puts so much effort into making sure everyone enjoy their time and having the best hike or trip.You will have the best with either you go alone or with friends.Very highly recommend any of the trip or hike!

Re: PEAK DISTRICT HIKE AND CLIMB WEEKEND.If in doubt, book it now! The beauty of the landscape is unparalleled, the thrill of the climb is a great boost for selfconfidence, and so many laughs with the crew! This trip is moderate and accessible to most people, I am not super sporty nor particularly strong myself, but the weekend is designed to make everyone welcome. Kate Capelli is a superstar!Re: SEVEN SISTERS EASTER HIKE.I had the best time with the best people and the best weather, exploring the best section of the ‘South Downs Way’. Kate Capelli knows what she is doing and I would follow her anywhere. The general vibe was inclusive and warm and friendly, you do not need to be super fit to take part.

I have been lucky enough to enjoy 3 activities with AITW, 2 of which have been overseas trips! "Adventures" does not even begin to describe the experiences I had on both of my trips with this group. My first trip with AITW was in October/November 2022, and I still have fond memories and friendships that were formed, sharing laughter, conquering challenges, and taking in the beautiful scenery of South Africa. Hiking, yoga, camping, bouldering, and wine tasting were all part of the itinerary, but what wasn't planned was just the awe and feeling I was left with when the trip was over. I had so much fun that I booked another overseas trip in March 2024 to Lapland. I got to try snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, a traditional Finnish sauna, and ice dipping. We even got to stay in a cozy cabin where we shared delicious meals, took turns sledding, had a private sauna, and even laughed our way into playing in the snow between sauna breaks. We had 2 wonderful Finnish guides leading us into the beautiful Lapland wilderness, and we got to have lunch at our very own woman-made ice table/bar. Our last night was quite magical, as we got to see the Northern lights for the 2nd time on the trip and were mesmorised by its glow. It was an empowering trip, and Kate takes thoughtful consideration in planning and organising events that promote community support. I can't wait to join another adventure!

I can’t recommend Adventuress in the Wild highly enough after an epic week exploring the magical scenery of the Finnish Lapland.We were very lucky to have Kate with us, and I must say I couldn’t possibly think of a better professional travel companion.We also had qualified wilderness guides with us, and again, they were really professional and friendly, and they were adapting to our needs at all times.The accommodation had great views and was really pretty, it also had a fireplace and traditional Finnish sauna, and getting up in the mornings in such a setting was quite a thing.Spent our days hiking in the wilderness, snow shoeing, trying nordic backcountry ski, ice dipping and having yummy home made meals. We also managed to see the northern lights for two nights and had lots of fun as strangers to start with but as friends by the end of the trip.A really empowering experience and I have already booked to go again next year.

Truely, an amazing trip with a bunch of lovely ladies and two aspiring female wilderness guides. A week packed with fun activities, nordic skiing, snowshoeing, hike to the fell for aurora, yoga, sauna/ice dip, laughter, banter, a perfect traditional log cabin in the magical Lapland landscape. My 1st all female group trip and definitely not my last. Experiences are shared, fond memories to look back on and friendships formed. LOVED IT, AITW/Sidetracked thank you!

Kate is incredible! She has a great ethos and works incredibly hard teaming up with group's lead/run by women and making sure everyone is ok. Lapland adventure, was the second overseas trip with Adventuresses and it was phenomenal. The group was hilarious/encouraging and the guides (Sirpa and Lotta), made the trip so special for everyone.

Still buzzing after a truly wonderful trip to Northern Finland with Kate and Adventuress in the Wild. From start to finish, Kate was really responsive and set the tone for an encouraging and fun space to try new things, take on challenging situations, and have a lot of laughs with a great group of women. Kate provided us with an exceptionally curated week, filled with snow shoe hiking, cross country skiing, ice dipping and even seeing the northern lights in our PJs!Would absolutely recommend AITW to anyone after an adventure!

I’ve just come back from an absolutely fantastic winter skills weekend up in the snowy Scottish highlands with Adventuress in the wild.It was a perfect weekend from the outset!Kate, the founder of adventuress in the wild and our mountain leader, Charlie , immediately put you at ease going through the itinerary for the weekend.On the Saturday Charlie introduced us to the lovely Scottish winter and what it had to offer. We learnt how to make wise decisions, use crampons, use ice axes and generally have lots of fun safely in the snow!On the Sunday we put all of the skills we had learnt the day before to good use as we hiked up a snowy mountain…and oh boy…the views were unreal!We were very very lucky with the weather and I felt I was living a dream. The memories I have made from the weekend will last a lifetime. My only regret is that it didn’t last longer as I was definitely not ready to come home!Thank you to Kate, Charlie, Gaby and Jean for making the trip so memorable. It won’t be the last trip I take with Adventuress in the wild!

I have just finished the 4 week bouldering course with Kate and it was so helpful in getting me into bouldering. She really eases you into it and the course is layed out really well. Kate is an amazing instructor as she takes the time to learn about you and doesnt just coach you on the physical side but the mental side too which for me was the main obstacle for me progressing. By the time I had my 2nd session with her I was a lot less shakey and from the very first session I was able to complete climbs. She pushes you outside your comfort zone yet not so much that it puts you off bouldering completely. In such a small amount of time Ive seen so much progress in my bouldering and having all the techniques she has taught me under my belt I now feel confident enough to enter a bouldering gym on my own.

I recently completed the 4-week bouldering beginners course. It was a great way to learn all the basic techniques and lingo. I feel more confident going bouldering by myself or joining social climbs now. Kate is a great instructor and made the sessions fun. I would definitely recommend it if you are new to or returning to bouldering!

The journey and trip through Morocco was a dream come true, filled with unparalleled experiences that go beyond the ordinary. From immersing myself in the ancient traditions of nomadic life to witnessing the awe-inspiring beauty of the Sahara Desert under the starlit sky, entire adventure was nothing short of extraordinary with the breathtaking hikes in the majestic mountains .Having Kate and Hafida as our guides undoubtedly added an extra layer of magic to our trip. Their expertise, passion, and genuine care ensured that every moment was not just memorable but truly exceptional. Their insights, local knowledge, and hospitality enriched our experience, creating unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

I had the most amazing week of my life on an expedition to the Pyrenees with Adventuress in the Wild and 360 Expeditions. I had never travelled solo before and was so nervous to go on an expedition with a group of people I’d never met. Adventuress couldn’t have been better, Kate made sure everyone was happy throughout the trip. She took the time to speak with everyone on the trip and answered any concerns we had. She kept us all up to date in the WhatsApp chat and put a packing list in the chat each day to help us know what to pack for the days activities.The group were amazing, everyone was so lovely and we all really bonded over the week. It was a week filled with smiles and laughter, we all supported and cheered each other on as we tried new and challenging things outwith our comfort zones. I absolutely cannot wait to book more activities with adventuress and genuinely recommend them to everyone!

I attended the course "Confidence Outdoors" and I enjoyed a lot. Kate is creating a very comfortable atmosphere and she is providing a complete course both, for beginners and more advance hikers. Key information provided and also, detailed replies to all questions. Now I feel I have all the important tools to go ahead in my future hikes. I would highly recommend this course.

Highly Recommend!I wanted to make a positive change and to go out and meet new people with similar interests and to build my confidence and self-esteem. I’d always loved walking and hiking but never felt I knew enough to do it on my own (or even if it was something you could do solo!) Then I came across Adventuress in the Wild. Kate’s Confidence Outdoors course was exactly what I was looking for.The course included subjects like: planning your own hike and creating your own route; keeping safe and how to deal with emergencies; choosing kit and equipment; multi-day camping and backpacking and then the option of going on a hike and meeting all the people on the course in the final week.I was very nervous to go on my own but I didn’t need to be; I was instantly put at ease. Kate is very friendly and welcoming and all the ladies attending were great. It was a really lovely day and Kate was a brilliant guide.I’d put planning solo hikes off, but now armed with my new knowledge and confidence, I’m looking forward getting out there.Kate, thank you. I also can’t wait to go on more of your hikes soon.

Kate is a fantastic guide and leader. I feel inspired and motivated to undertake more treks, which as an inexperienced woman who wants to get more outdoorsy feels so empowering. However, my favourite part is the adventuress community - I have done both the compass navigation and confidence outdoors courses, and the community that Kate has an integral role in developing of Adventuresses feels like a truly welcoming, supportive environment. I’ve already booked onto more adventuress walks - if you’re not sure, just sign up!

I've been thinking about joining this group for so long and I'm so glad I finally did! So nice to get out of London with some likeminded, friendly people. Kate is a great guide, very knowledgeable and always making sure everyone feels welcome. I also like that there are a lot of options, from day hikes to overseas trips to bouldering. Very highly recommended!

I’ve had such a brilliant time on my days with the adventuress gang! I did a couple of hikes in January and the confidence outdoors course in March. Kate is very experienced and knowledgeable, and creates a really relaxed and friendly environment. It’s a lovely way to meet like-minded people whilst exploring some beautiful places and building confidence to go it alone at some point. Highly recommend!

Such a great community to be a part of! I'm new to town, so I was nervous to start coming out, but Kate and the girls made me feel welcome right away. I now attend the hikes and bouldering and beer sessions regularly. The group that turns up is always a mix of new and familiar faces, and everyone receives that same warm welcome. Getting outside is medicine for me. Getting outside with other women is even more so. For any women looking to get into nature more and meet other women who like doing the same, I can't recommend this group enough!

I had a fantastic time hiking in Epping Forest with such lovely friendly people. Kate is a brilliant guide and is so welcoming - I felt very welcome attending on my own. Such a great way of getting out into the countryside and escaping London! Highly recommended.

Kate is a great guide and she's managed to create an amazing community of women around her. The hikes she organizes are not only a way of exploring London and its surroundings, but also to connect to other people. 10/10 would recommend

Such a vibe! I was pretty stoked when I first found Adventuresses and even more so now that I have attended a few events. Kate is a great guide, always full of fun facts about nature and making sure everyone feels safe and welcome. What I love most though is the community, a bunch of cool chicks you get to hike/climb and have a drink with. Thanks for creating this, you'll be seeing my face a lot :)P.S. make sure to join one of the abroad adventures, it was truly an experience of a lifetime 😍

I've joined several adventures with Adventuress in the Wild, and I can confidently say that they are life changing experiences. As someone who moved to the UK, they gave me the opportunity to explore the outdoors around London and meet new people in a safe, friendly environment.Kate is a very experienced and organised guide, and she has created a platform that empowers women in many ways. I couldn't recommend them more.
