Introduction to Backpacking Multi-Day

Shameer Shah

Nature Kicks is thrilled to bring you another epic multi-day adventure – Introduction to Backpacking – multiple days of trekking through beautiful areas on London’s doorstep.

Discover the pleasure of trail walking on hand-picked routes in the spectacular Chiltern Hills, crisscrossing various historical ways, as you get expertly guided along the journey.

Based in Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the routes follow a mix of singletrack paths, sweeping forest trails, stunning panoramic views, valleys and open meadows. Numerous ancient woods are included, surrounded by diverse natural habitats and wildlife.

The basecamp for the night is a Country Tavern or similar, which will serve a delicious dinner to ramp up the energy levels and breakfast to power our trek for the day.

Upon return to the trailhead, we will depart from where we started on day one.

If you know wilderness in the way that you know love, you would be unwilling to let it go. This is the story of our past and it will be the story of our future.
