GRIT self‑guided packs are complete training camp and challenge itineraries for hiking, trail running, road trips, ski trips and ultras. They’re designed for people who want independence and flexibility, but also want proper planning, safety and local insight – without paying for a fully guided trip. They build in skills, resilience and or performance based on what you are after in a safe and supported way!

​

We’ll offer packs in UK national parks and wild areas (e.g. Dartmoor, Lakes, Yorkshire Dales, East Lothian, Fife, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs, Cairngorms, Highlands & Islands, Bath/Cheddar/Mendips, Jurassic Coast and Norfolk coast) and international destinations like Madeira, Slovenia, Romania, the Balkans, Georgia, Slovakia and Poland.

​

Each pack can be hub‑and‑spoke (day routes from a base) or A‑to‑B journeys, at low, mid or higher altitude, with different lengths and options for different speeds and experience levels. Our packs can include resilience, leadership and reflection prompts. You choose the style; we design the logistics. Our self guided individual/ group training camps are in both Madeira and altitude training options - with options to add on a spa, cycling rest day, or nice hotel with a gym and pool!

​

We pre‑check routes, hazards, waymarking, comms and emergency logistics, and work with trusted local partners, so your adventure feels wild but well planned!

​

A typical GRIT self‑guided pack will include:

• Route options for each day (short/medium/long) with clear grading.

• Maps, GPX files and detailed day‑by‑day notes.

• Booked hotels, guesthouses or homestays, plus transfers/buses/trains and any hike permits needed all booked.

• Safety planning and logistics so you can relax and focus on the journey.

• Culture, history, geography and language notes woven into the booklet to make opening it feel exciting, not just functional.

• Optional add‑ons like vineyard visits, homestays, rafting, lake paddleboarding, spa or massage, cycling rest days and more, through local partnerships.

​

We’ll offer optional short calls to discuss your goals and preferences before we finalise your pack!

You get an authentic, locally informed trip – tailored around your pace, remoteness preferences and comfort level – with more independence and flexibility than a guided tour, but none of the “I hope this works” stress of planning everything alone!!

​

We’re currently designing packs for:

• Self‑guided training camps (hiking, trail running, hill running, ultra prep).

• Weekend “mystery” hiking/trail‑running breaks in the UK.

• Longer hub‑and‑spoke and A‑to‑B journeys in Madeira, Slovenia, Romania, the Balkans, Georgia, Slovakia and Poland.

• Ski holidays.
