What we’re about
This is a group for anyone interested in outdoor activities, hiking, exploring and living life to the fullest. All skill levels are welcome. I started this group to show how accessible hiking can be from Manchester. I'm an experienced/qualified mountain leader and qualified minibus driver allowing me to offer you the cheapest price possible for your adventure.
Not everyone has transport to the mountains, but we do! Simply put... We Pick You Up, Drive You To The Mountains, Guide You Up The Mountains Safely, Have An Amazing Adventure, Drive You Back Home In Time For Tea!
If you are new to all this, I've created this page to help: https://www.bee-adventures.co.uk/welcome
You will meet great people and have lots of laughs! Safety is essential but we never take ourselves too seriously. Come join one of our events and see for yourself. Feel free to message me any questions or concerns you may have and if I'm not up a mountain with no signal I will reply as soon as I'm back down :)
We have added to our list of activities and will now be running hiking, via Ferrata, expeditions and camping.
Please book on our website before you RSVP, then you will defiantly have a seat on the bus.
All our activities can also be found on our website: www.bee-adventures.co.uk

NEW! Scotland Winter Skills Weekend
Difficulty: Moderate - This trip is made for complete beginners to winter walking but you must have some previous hill walking experience and fitness. Talk to us if you are unsure.
We've teamed up with Cairngorm Adventure Guides to introduce and practise winter techniques such as: personal movement (cramponing, step kicking and cutting); using an ice axe; self-arrests; winter navigation; planning and preparation; snow pack analysis; avalanche avoidance; emergency procedures; and understanding the winter environment.
These skills are coached on day in the context of a mountain journey. We aim to help you to gain familiarity with these skills, allowing you to get out into the mountains to practice and consolidate.
This course is mainly practical and based out on the hill in the Cairngorms (Scotland). The Cairngorms, located in the Scottish Highlands, is a mountain range and national park renowned for its rugged beauty and diverse wildlife. It features some of the UK's highest peaks, ancient forests and expansive moorlands.
This one-day course will leave you with the confidence and knowledge to go hill walking safely in winter.
What's included in the price:- Transport from Manchester/Lancaster.
- 2 nights accommodation and fresh bedding (Shared rooms with 4 bunk beds). Link: https://www.hostellingscotland.org.uk/hostels/aviemore/
- Winter Equipment: Ice Axe, Crampons, Helmets and Winter Boots.
What's not included:
- Food
- Warm winter clothes
Day 1 - We will start from Manchester, drive up to the Cairngorms, check into the accommodation and explore the local area.
Day 2 - Refreshed from your night's sleep we'll head to the meeting point to meet the winter guides and learn how to fit our equipment.
Day 3 - BEE Adventures will be ready to take us back home safely with a bus full of winter hiking pros.
