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 have just returned from my first trip with The Bucket List Company and can honestly say I had the most amazing time! Everything was very well organised with no hiccups along the way. Everything was well thought out and I can safely say this will be a trip I will be talking about for a very long time! I will be booking onto more trips for sure.”

Laura Biggs

Wow… what can I say? This was one of the hardest but most enjoyable trips of my life. The Bucket List Company were a pleasure to deal with from the word go, and the support Keith offered on the trip was just amazing, backed up by Whitey and his merry band of porters.

Booking with The Bucket List Company was easy – the only thing you have to think about is packing and turning up, they organise everything, leaving you to enjoy your trip without the hassle.

I cannot thank The Bucket List Company enough, and look forward to booking my next adventure to Peru shortly.

Sarah Starkey

Mount Kilimanjaro climb

“A very easy company to work with – super open, knowledgeable and deep expertise.

Having just come off the Sahara trek, I was impressed with the logistics and just how much fun this was as a single traveler.

If you want to do something cool, irrespective of your own experience, then this is the team to do it with – highly adaptive to individuals with a very pragmatic approach.”

Andy Haverson

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.”

Beata Heath

“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

“Great adventure made even better by the team at the bucket list company. Nothing was too much and their calm heads when there were some challenges helped everybody have an amazing time. If you’re going to Base Camp, choose these guys as you are in safe and friendly hands.”

Martin
