Current Gear & Trails picks

Ridge · Scramble

Striding Edge to Helvellyn

Lake District, Cumbria · 13 km · 900 m ascent · ~6 hours · Challenging

A classic ridge day with short, exposed scrambling sections and huge views. Best tackled in fair weather with confident feet and a head for heights.

Summit · National park

Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) via Ranger Path

Eryri / Snowdonia · 14.5 km · 970 m ascent · ~5.5 hours · Moderate

A quieter ascent away from the busiest paths. Steady gradients with a final pull to the summit. Good first big Welsh hill on a settled day.

Alpine · Multi-day

Tour du Mont Blanc – Stage 6 Samoëns Variant

Alps, France · 18.2 km · 1100 m ascent · ~7 hours · Hard

Long balcony paths, alpine meadows and glacial views. Demanding but memorable for trekkers with solid fitness, a head for exposure and efficient pacing.
