About us

I have always had a passion for, and worked in, the countryside and made a point of promoting my interest to people of all age groups, to help them understand the ways of the countryside better. I have worked hard to promote the environment both professionally and as a hobby, and one of the best ways to do this is to actually get out there and explore at a pace that give you the ability to take in your surroundings.

 

There is no better way to do this than

walking based activities.

 

 There are also many benefits to walking regardless of age, health and ability. We cater for both individual needs and group activities.

 

I have personally been walking long distances for many years. I think nothing of walking for 12 - 14 miles in a day and again the next day, and this activity is how the idea, and the name, of Walka-Longway started to develop.

The aim of Walka-Longway is to encourage and plan Walking Trips and Team Building breaks, for 2 - 15 days. We walk throughout Wales using existing long distance walks/paths, planning themed walks and catering for individual requests.

 

The growth of health initiatives which encourage all ages to experience walking for the improvement of their health is all the headlines these days, so we are giving you the opportunity to become part of this.

 

Walka-Longway is different as it will be educational and inspirational with you taking not only good holiday memories home with you, but also a sense of achievement.

 

You will be given an actual record by way of a diary to record your progress. Within this diary will also be health & Safety information, emergency plan and information about the activity you are undertaking.

 

Walka-Longway will bring back the "explorer" style holiday where people carry equipment, plan their daily itinerary, and learn skills such as compass reading, map reading and leadership.

 

As mentioned above, you will have the opportunity to write a daily diary on your experiences and if certification is required this will be done as well. This will not only give you a quality walking activity holiday but also help to educate you on your environmental surroundings and how to look after it.
