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:

“When you go on the adventures of a life time, you want to travel with a company that cares. I went on the Sahara desert trek in Morocco. 104 Km over 4 days is an endurance test, but we were taken well care of with food and brakes plus we had a designated emergency camel for anyone with knee or foot problems to take the load of for 20 min.

The views were as amazing as what you would imagine and the stars at night the grandest show on earth. If you dream of sitting on a sand dune watching the sun set over the Sahara after a good days trek, this is the trip for you.”

Helle Justesen

Sahara trek

“WOW… words cannot describe the experience of taking a trip like The Bucket List Company provides…

I just got back from the Mt. Toubkal Trek and everything was beyond perfect. The food was stunning and we never went hungry, the team and guides were beyond supportive – always professional and friendly. The amazing memories we all made will be cherished forever. I can’t thank you all enough.”

Rick Ackroyd

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 am so glad that we chose to climb Kilimanjaro with the Bucket List Company!

Before our trip the team were quick to respond to any queries (including very last minute kit queries!) and provide assurance.

Our trekking group was fairly large (20). This provided a great social experience but did not impact the superb level of individual support/service provided to each member.

Everything was extremely well organised from start to finish – which is very much appreciated on this sort of trip. I am thankful for this experience and will definitely book future adventures with the Bucket List Company!

Eleanor Williams

Mount Kilimanjaro climb

“I recent went on the Sahara Trek and it was one of the best times of my life. That sounds so cliche but it’s the easiest way for me to describe it.

The Bucket List Company made the whole experience stress free. I highly recommend what these guys are doing!”

Michael Chudley

Sahara trek

“It was an amazing adventure with amazing people. Lovely, caring leaders and guides. Today, I couldn’t imagine my life without having this great experience. Thank you all.”
