MAY TO SEPTEMBER

At this time of year conditions are more suitable for all abilities, with a shorter walk and better weather. Our summer Hill Trip is to a (very large!) enclosure on the mountains, to which we walk mostly along a rough mountain trail before heading off the path onto the open hillside. The route does drop into a valley and back up the other side, but we go at a relaxed pace and take our time, so it is usually suitable for most ages and abilities (as long as everyone has the correct clothing and footwear). There is no age limit from May – September.

Bear in mind that whilst we sometimes get lovely weather in the summer, it CAN be awful – below 10ºC, extremely wet and with very strong winds. If you are unlucky and visit on a less than pleasant day, you will have a MUCH nicer time if you have ALL the clothing in the diagramme above! The photo below was taken on a July day…!
