This is a free and voluntary service I offer to females that have already become part of the Vertical Victories community – to help encourage more ladies 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 Wilderness First Responder, 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 a wonderful friend Gemma who is a qualified Mountain Leader and can offer these services.
