The Group
Events Together Walking weekends will involve you being part of a group of typically up to 20 people who will get as much fun out of being together as a group as being on the hill! You will get to know the other participants as you enjoy some of the UK's finest scenery with plenty of time for conversation on the route. You don't need to worry about navigation as our experienced guides will take care of this.
We will aim to show you a taste of some of the high and low level routes that attract many people to a particular area, whether it's the Lake District or Snowdonia.
Above all you’ll be in great company and have a great time - together!

Scrambling
Scrambling is usually defined as being somewhere between walking and climbing. Once you start using your hands to aid progress on a steep ascent or descent, you are scrambling. Without care and a degree of skill and judgement, it can be dangerous, particularly if there's not the back-up of a climber’s gear and experience.
Aspirant scramblers need a range of judgemental and routefinding skills backed up with some basic climbing techniques for different rock features. Knowledge of basic ropework helps too. It's an exhilarating way of reaching a summit providing fresh views and perspectives en route. With Events Together you can enjoy these in the company of your fellow outdoor enthusiasts and experienced instructors.
