Beginner Guides

Starting hiking or wild camping can feel overwhelming.

There’s a lot of advice online, a lot of gear recommendations, and sometimes it can seem like you need to buy half an outdoor shop before you even begin.

The truth is, you don’t.

Here we’ve put together some guides designed to help beginners start simply, build confidence on the trail, and enjoy the countryside without overthinking it. You’ll find guides on what to wear, what to pack, how to plan your first walks, and how to get started with wild camping in the UK.
