About us

We are a couple who enjoy exploring UK landscapes and spend time outdoors hiking, camping or walking. We also like travelling and discovering new places, culture, food and scenery.

We started to go hiking not too long ago after our first hike with few friends. They passed on their love for nature and now we are spending our free time outdoors whenever we can.

The UK weather is very unpredictable therefore we needed multiple layers and type of clothes for rainy, windy and sunny days. Initially we haven’t got any boots or clothes so we went to Go Outdoors, our favourite store. They do have really good discounts with their Discount Card and sometimes they have sales on different items so keep an eye on their website.

In terms of boots we would recommend Outside store or Cotsworld where you can find a great variety of shoes. If in doubt what to buy, have a look at Scarpa shoes. This boots are the best for hiking or walking, safe for mountain or rocky terrain. The Gore-tex technology does exactly what it says, keeps you dry and warm and the leather is very durable.

The beautiful thing about hiking is that it's truly an activity everyone can do. Whether you're young or old, an expert or an amateur, there's a trail out there that will be perfect for you.

Outdoor activities are a great way to get some fresh air and clear your mind. We at ‘Hike and Travel’ want to share our experiences and exchange ideas with other nature lovers.

Hiking has been a great escape from daily routine and my partner and I have created this website to share our experiences with the world, with insights and route maps of our walks.

Hike and Travel are offering free routes maps, GPX files and insights on hiking routes in Lake District, Snowdonia, South Wales, Peak District or Yorkshire Dales and Scotland. We have created the routes using the best website with all of the UK routes FootPathMap. The GPX file can be uploaded onto any GPS device or smart watch (e.g. GARMIN Fenix 6).
