Looking for an active New Year. Looking for a fresh, invigorating way to end the year and start 2025 on a high note? Our New Year Winter Walking Break from 27th December to 2nd January offers an unforgettable blend of adventure, skill-building, and celebration.
This isn’t your typical New Year experience. Say goodbye to overindulging on the sofa and hello to crisp winter air, stunning Highland landscapes, and the camaraderie of like-minded adventurers. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or a beginner, this trip is a unique opportunity to connect with nature and yourself.
This trip isn’t all about the trails. Your adventure culminates in the lively street party in Grantown-on-Spey, where you’ll ring in the New Year with music, dancing, and fireworks under the starry Highland skies.
This experience is perfect for anyone active who enjoys the mountains and loves the idea of blending adventure with a touch of comfort and community. If you’ve got a passion for the outdoors and want to start 2025 with purpose and excitement, this trip is for you.
The week between Christmas and New Year can feel like a no-man’s-land. Instead of spending it stuck in the same routine, why not embrace something different? Our winter walking break offers the perfect balance of activity, relaxation, and celebration.
Don’t wait too long—spaces are limited, and this trip fills up fast!

When you have built your company yourself it becomes like a baby for you – very personal. It can also make it difficult to define in a nutshell why anyone should buy from us rather than anyone else. So we thought perhaps an independent viewpoint would be the easiest way to portray the many benefits of using our services.
We have recently touched base with one of our retired clients who due to poor health has not been able to come on one of our trips for a couple of years. Here’s his view of our walking holidays (many of which he has attended, which you’ll see from his comments below), His comments might give you some insights into why he has been booking holidays with us regularly for several years:
“I recall saying on many occasions when out walking that you should put the sites/sounds in your memory banks as you are 6’ under for a long time. Believe me, this is true. I still think joyfully of striding long with Tina on a descent with Looi and Caroline giggling and getting damp trying to keep up, somewhere behind us, of shared meals with like-minded people and of plodding behind Andy – the “click” from my poles winding him up but he was too professional to say anything, and as we walked I spent my time trying to think of a question that would throw him (one was “what is the life cycle of a slug”, it threw him and was my proudest moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
I will never forget Knoydart and one evening as we descended from the mt that overlooks Inverie I spooked an eagle which was roosting just below the edge of the ridge, it flew within 20 feet of me. They are big. Really big.
On one of my first trips, it was around the Cairngorms, we were descending in the dark – it was pitch black – all we had was a pool of light in front of us from our head torches. All you could see if you looked up were the pin pricks of red light in the dark from the deers’ eyes and the “roaring” of the stags as we were then in their domain. Spine tingling.
I have so many memories of you all and wish you all the best.”
