Be a responsible adventurer
At Forces Wives Challenge we have a hugely supportive network of guides and activity providers that help us on our mission to unite women on adventures. Without these people, our challenges simply would not exist!
Throughout the UK there are small local businesses offering hikes in the hills, guided swims, supported canoe trips and guided cycling routes plus many many more. The benefits of hiring a guide or using an activity provider can really enhance an adventure. And with summer around the corner what better time to start planning?
A quick internet search of where you are planning on having your adventure will help you find a local guide (the local tourist board is a great place to start). These people are invaluable in creating routes that go off the beaten track and away from the crowds, and they take away the need to navigate so you can enjoy the experience. Also, they know the best place for an ice cream cake or local beer . Plus they will fill you with knowledge about the area they love, and support you on your adventures!
The ripple effect of money being spent with a local business is huge, more money stays within the community making it a great place for locals and visitors alike. Cafes and pubs stay open, the environment is protected and communities thrive.
We would love to hear about your experience of hiring a guide for your adventures! Please share in the comments
