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:

“I’ve just come back from doing the Lares trek in Peru. This was a trip that just kept giving and my mind is still catching up from everything I experienced.

This trip had everything and feel privileged with the experience that bucket list company arranged.I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of booking a trip, they are well organised and the experiences are once in a lifetime, pictures just dont do it justification, seeing it with your own eyes is a thousand times better.

Massive thanks to Keith and his staff for sorting it all out!”

Oliver Wilson

“I just nicely got back from Peru with The Bucket List Company. It was an absolutely incredible trip – I booked it and went on my own, met some lovely people and had the experience of a lifetime.

I also had the opportunity to go on trips outside of the main trek, which just added to the whole experience. I would highly recommend The Bucket List Company to anyone, and can’t wait to book my next trip!”

Laura Trimble

Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu

“Went to Morocco with The Bucket List Company. Not only was it an amazing trip it was lead by an amazing company. Everything was sorted for us from the flights to accommodation. Having a UK leader with us the whole time made the trip effortless.

Having someone with experience of the country and the trip certainly made it effortless. I would not hesitate recommending or using this company again myself.”

Andy Simpson

Morocco

“Just got back from Gozo where my partner and I completed our PADI open water course through the Bucket List Company. After doing Everest Base Camp earlier this year, we knew it would be a well organised trip, but it exceeded our expectations. Keith, who is a divemaster himself, picked out the best dive centre on the island for us. Ritual is a new dive shop in Gozo with a brilliant group of instructors who could not have been more friendly and supportive throughout this holiday. Thanks to them and the Bucket List Company, we are now qualified divers. The highlight of the trip was the all day boat trip to Comino, where we went diving in the caves and around a ship wreck.

Already booked my third Bucket List Company trip (Kilimanjaro, 2021) but thinking of booking a few more.”

Andi K

Gozo Diving Trip

“Absolutely fantastic from beginning till end highly recommend this company staff were perfect in every way couldn’t of made it without them I will be booking up in future again and met new friends for life.”

Adrian Farr

“Had a great trip to Nepal trekking the Annapurna Circuit in March this year with these guys. So good in fact I’ve just signed up to climb Mount Toubkal with them next year…”
