Who is this for?
This is a free and voluntary service I offer to people that have already become part of the Vertical Victories community – to help encourage more women to get out in the countryside and feel safe in the process. This is not for beginner hikers. It’s a friendly service for women who may be keen to take their adventuring further, camping out under the stars after a long day hiking, or even a multi-day hike, but might feel anxious doing this alone. You create the plans, you choose the route, and you are entirely in control, you are creating the adventure. I’m just there to support you, to keep you company, and make you feel safe.
I am a Mountain Leader Trainee, a qualified outdoor first aider, and a skilled multi-day hiker and camper, and I can bring all of these skills and experience to this adventure.
[Note: this is not a guided hike and I will not be in control of navigation, although I will call it if I think we’re wandering into unsafe territory.] If you would prefer to be guided then I have some wonderful friends qualified as Mountain Leaders and can offer these services.
Pre-requisites
Only available to women and NBI community and those who have already done at least 2 courses/experiences with Vertical Victories. This is for my own safety, as much as yours. You will also need to be in good physical health and I will require you to fill out a medical form.
Duration and Cost
This is totally free for anyone who has booked onto my climbing courses before. Please get in touch with your ideas and I’d be happy to chat
Location
I am based in Wales but I travel often and with plenty of planning something can be worked out – just get in touch with your exciting plans and I’ll see what I can do!
