Hillwalking is one of the most enjoyable aspects of being outdoors, and in North Wales you have an abundance of choices and options suitable for any level of experience or fitness.

We aim to offer as much choice and as large a range of outdoor equipment as possible, some of it may be regarded as essential and some luxury, but all is functional and appropriate.

Its amazing how far equipment has developed over the past 15 - 20 years. Pretty much everything is lighter, stronger, more comfortable to use and it all adds to your relative enjoyment and safety.

Of course nothing replaces experience and we recommend a cautious and gentle approach to anyone venturing into the mountains. If your new to it or just want to get started why not consider taking a guide, or signing up for a walking skills course such as those offered at Plas y Brenin.
