Hiking & Fitness

Our Fitness Hiking Series is designed to help you challenge yourself, improve your mental health and get fit. We train on Tuesday nights, hiking together as a team to cover a distance of 10-14km over 2 - 3 ½ hours.  The fitness hikes run all year round and our participants particularly enjoy the night hiking come winter. We promise you'll be feeling invigorated after one of these sessions, whatever the season! We are the only hiking company in Sussex that specifically do night hiking fitness sessions.

 

The hills and terrain of Sussex will challenge us on these micro-adventures as we move through neolithic burial grounds, hill forts, and ancient footpaths.

​

On Thursday evenings we have conditioning sessions using weighted equipment such as sandbags, kettlebells and slam balls to help maintain strength and power. We follow the short session up with a quick hike to the top of a hill! This transfers across to improve hiking or whatever sport we choose to do.

Day Hikes

​

Building on our training in the Fitness Hiking  series we like to rack up a few extra miles with our day hikes.

This gives you some extra time to work on testing your kit and clothing in different weather, visit new sites, and playing with different navigation techniques both old and modern. It’s also a pleasure to get a deeper understanding of different areas within Sussex.

Hiking in a multitude of areas across the South Downs National Park really highlights how expansive it is. 

 

Join us on some of our tours either as a one-off or regularly to improve upon your trekking experiences.
