NIGHT HIKE SERIES

OVERVIEW

Full moons, starry nights, city lights! Some of the fantastic sights that can be seen on our night hikes while enjoying all the night life found on the mountains and along the trails! It’s great to get out in the dark and see the hills from a different perspective. It’s also a brilliant way to build up confidence of walking in the dark without having to navigate yourself. Our qualified walking leaders will share information, tips and tricks and guide you through the night!

Please note that these hikes will require you to bring a headtorch with you.
