For any thrill seeker or adventure Junkie, nothing tops the exploration of rugged woodland, mist-tipped summits, or rocky trails - and for the most daring, the wilder, the better! The United Kingdom (UK) is home to some of the most breath-taking landscapes on earth, with natural pockets of experience awaiting enthusiastic explorers throughout England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
The UK bursts with picturesque geography and is home to countless Instagram-worthy locations, but don't let the pretty face fool you: these lands demand respect! Each new natural setting requires a different skill set and challenges our endurance and capabilities as athletes, adventurers, and journeymen, in unique and exciting ways! Even a trodden path can present as an unknown beast under diverse weather conditions. The once dehydrated and easy-going terrain along the Wainwrights, can quickly become a high-risk and boggy underfoot experience, during a Great British winter.
To be fortunate enough to live in (or visit) the UK and not investigate the untamed wonder that nature has provided would surely cause a war in the soul of any outdoors-loving man or woman. The Lakes were made to be wandered, the rolling hills of South Downs want to be stomped, and Snowdonia begs to be mounted ... but the key to a successful experience is safety. Afterall, who wants to return home with limp tales of twisted ankles, costly navigational errors, and damp logistical mistakes in lieu of triumphant conquest? For that, dear adventurers, would be a bit of an anti-climax.
So, how can we take advantage of the United Kingdom and all her wild glory, while staying safe and getting the upmost out of our experiences?
Well, I am glad you asked!...
