Adventure routes with the logistics left in. Daily distance, weather windows, tides, permits, water and the bail-out plan, written for people who would rather finish a route than tick off a summit.
Choose the route for the days you have
A route is a sequence of days, not a list of highlights. We start with the time available, then the season, then the daily distance and the exit points. A three-day walk with 20-kilometre days is a different trip from the same route spread over five. We publish realistic times, including the stops, the photographs and the afternoon when the weather arrives early.
Weather, tides and bail-outs
Coastal routes depend on tides; mountain routes depend on wind and visibility. We check the official forecast and the local tide table, then plan the exposed section for the morning. Every day needs a shorter version and an escape route, whether that is a bus stop, a farm track or a bothy. A route that only works in perfect weather is not a plan; it is a wish.
Gear, food and water
The kit should match the worst day, not the best one. We carry a waterproof shell, a warm mid-layer, a headlamp, a paper map, a basic first-aid kit and enough water for the longest dry section. Food is part of the route plan: a proper lunch, snacks within reach and a backup meal that does not need cooking. Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back, and check the local access rules before you set off.
