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.
