Our trek training walks in the Peak District, Lake District, and Yorkshire Dales are specially designed for those preparing for non-technical, overseas guided treks, in summer conditions, up mountains such as Kilimanjaro, the High Atlas Mountains, the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and Everest Base Camp.

They are also useful for those training for guided mountain challenges in the UK such as the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge.

Most tour operators organising mountain walking holidays or charity challenge treks, recommend hill walking as being one of the most effective methods of preparing your body to sustain several consecutive days of uphill climbs.

We can guide you on some of the most challenging hill walks in the Peak District, and on mountain walks in the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. This could form a valuable part of your personal training plan for your trekking holiday or charity challenge trek abroad.

There are two options for Trek Training walks:

Join open group walks on the set dates listed below
Arrange private guided training days on mutually convenient dates.

We can suggest suitable local accommodation if required.

If you will be travelling by public transport, please contact us for advice.

You might also find our Trek Training Advice useful. It includes our Top Ten Tips for training!

Private Guided Trek Training Walks

We can offer Trek Training walks on a wider range of dates throughout the year for small groups, couples or individuals booking on a private guided basis.

This allows greater flexibility, as we can tailor the day to your individual requirements. For available private guiding dates, please see our guided walking calendar.

Prices from £170 per day, the cost of which can be shared between members of your group, so for five or more people it can work out cheaper than joining one of our open group walks.

Please contact us to enquire and to book.

In recognition of the fact that many of our customers are training for treks abroad where they will be using the services of local mountain porters, Peak Walking Adventures provides corporate sponsorship to the International Porter Protection Group as well as other charities.
