The idea of our training weekends is that you can get some practice trekking in various mountain trails, whilst meeting your trip leaders and fellow Bucketlisters. You will be able to test your hiking equipment and learn about various elements of your trip including:

Self-management and safety
Clothing and equipment choices
Dealing with heat, cold and altitude
Health and hygiene
Hydration and nutrition
Supportive group dynamics
Working with porters

Although this is not compulsory, it is a brilliant opportunity to meet your team members and make friends before setting off together. You’ll learn about altitude sickness, how to recognise it and how it is treated. You will learn about equipment, what works best and how to use it effectively.

Our trekking training takes the form of hiking weekends in the Peak District or the Brecon Beacons National Park. These Peak District hiking weekends and Brecon Beacons hikes are brilliant trips in of themselves, taking in the natural beauty of the Peak District National Park and the Beacons, whilst having plenty of laughs along the way!

What our Customers Say

Here’s what some of our awesome customers had to say:

“The trip was well organized and the crew running it who came out with us were brilliant. Would book another holiday with them for sure. Had an amazing time doing Everest base camp and meet some amazing people thanks to the crew loved it.”

Mark Cropper

Everest Base Camp

“You’ve booked your trip, and the excitement begins. You’ve packed your kit and checked your timings. Your adventure starts here… you explore the towns. With snakes? Never fear, you’re in good hands.

The trek can be tough, but it’s what you signed up for. You can’t get enough, though – there’s so much to explore, from the scorching hot sun, to the freezing deep snow. In the high atlas mountains, it’s all go, go go!

So away we all flew, but what was ahead? #WhatWouldKeithDo? “Just book another”, he said! At the end of it all, don’t be sad it’s all over – you have new friends to call, and it will soon be time for another adventure!

Thanks for looking after us on our amazing trip. We have some fantastic memories and loved every bit!”

Jodie McDonald

Mount Toubkal trek

“We recently returned from a fantastic Scuba Diving trip in Gozo, This was our first time using The Bucket List company and we were really impressed with everything from booking the trip to the return flights home, it was all so easy with no stress. Everything was perfectly organised, the group – 18 of us, got on really well and the trip leader, Keith, was a great host. We’re already planning our next trip with The Bucket List Company.”

Dean

Gozo Diving Trip

“I had the most amazing time on my Bucket List trip to Morocco. The trip was very well planned. I loved the food, the people on our trip, the places we stayed and of course our guide Gareth, who was absolutely brilliant. I would definitely book another trip in the near future. Thank you for an amazing experience.”

Sabrina Norris

Mount Toubkal trek

“When you’re embarking on a challenge like Kilimanjaro, you want to be sure you’re booking with a company who know what they’re doing and have experience of that particular challenge. When we booked with The Bucket List Company, they let us know exactly what we needed to do, from visas to the all-important kit list.

Keith from The Bucket List Company was with us on this trek and this was his 10th time summiting Kilimanjaro. The in-country lead guide had done it over 200 times, and our particular guide had done it 176 times. With that level of experience, we were in good hands. Kilimanjaro is a very real challenge, but if you’re motivated to do it, The Bucket List Company will give you a great chance of fulfilling your dream.

We now have memories that will last a lifetime and have The Bucket List Company to thank for getting us safely to the summit. Highly recommended!”

John Thompson

Mount Kilimanjaro climb

“Fantastic trip to Everest basecamp from start to finish. Can’t fault Keith and his team both English and Nepalese for the help and guidance they give throughout the tour. I’m already planning my next trip with the bucket list company. I would 100% recommend them not just for the trip itself but the knowledge and experience you get before, during and after.”
