Description

This hike is a genuine adventure, taking us to a spot where trails appear out of nowhere then disappear again as soon as you find them. We're exploring wilderness that feels untouched and is known to just a few.

While only 9km, this is a hike that will see us bushwhacking through dense forest, hopping over myriad streams and potentially encountering some snow. The reward is incredible however - we end up tracing a raging river along an impossibly pretty shoreline and pass some ferocious rapids.

Once we're done with the hike, we've got a short bonus adventure before we head home - to be revealed on the day so you'll have to be there to see it!

Highlights

Ferocious Rapids - Trek along this winding riverbank with tumultuous rapids forming the river's path

A Forgotten River - This river is teeming with life and beauty, how could anyone forget that!

Little-Known Crown Land Hike - Hike through the unknown where the trail comes and goes. We doubt you'll see anybody else out there.

08:00 - Transport leaves from close to Keele Station

08:00 - 10:00 - Drive

If there's snow on the day, you'll need snow spikes. We have a limited number to borrow - you're strongly advised to bring your own.

Food and Drink
You'll need to bring a packed lunch and water for any of our day trips that don't explicitly say we're making a stop at a restaurant. Where we stop at restaurants, you are responsible for the purchase of any food. Full details are available at the adventure plan, shared above on registration.

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
