Our multi day hikes are transformational. Some kind of “magic” happens with the group.

Here is what our members had to say…

“For me the highlight was participating! I had been longing to do a multi day hike since joining Women’s Fitness Adventures 2 years ago. I jumped at the opportunity to take a risk and commit. Being physically able to complete the walk without too much difficulty was also a highlight. Having never done back to back walks I wasn’t sure if my legs would co-operate with my heart and mind! It just shows what can happen when you put one foot in front of the other and begin. 100km! “ –Peta

And on our adventures in general…

“Thank you very much for a great weekend. I was anxious that I would not be up to the challenge but with the help of everyone’s support and confidence I was able to complete it. I also enjoyed the great camaraderie between all of us. Hoping I will see everyone on another Women’s Fitness Adventure one day.” -Carol

This is a MODERATE to MODERATE PLUS multi day adventure.

As the 100k in the UK Cornwall Coast Fitness Adventure is an oceanside location, much of our hiking involves hills as we navigate around headlands and clifftops.

A MODERATE level of fitness is required.

What this means is:

• There are consecutive days hiking where we are out “all day,” so having a good level of endurance (the ability to be out hiking all day) is necessary.
• The hiking consists of hills, and paths that are uneven underfoot. You need good balance & stability.
• A good level of cardio fitness is required – so being able to recover your breath after hiking hills; hiking up hills / stairs without stopping.
• Strength in your legs is required so that you can handle the distance over time.
• You will need to keep an average pace of 4km/hour over each and every day for the duration of the hikes.

The 100k in the UK Cornwall Coast Fitness Adventure is graded MODERATE to MODERATE PLUS.

The daily hike distance ranges from 10 – 22km

The terrain is undulating – plateaus, ascents and descents.

One of the most common asked questions is “Will I be fit enough?”

As soon as you book into the 100k in the UK Cornwall Coast Fitness Adventure you can get started with training.

Through booking into the adventure early and allowing time to train, this is an achievable goal – provided you put in the training.

Here’s what you get:

• A SIX MONTH hike training plan relevant to your adventure.
• A structured ONLINE Adventure Meeting that covers fitness motivation, gear & equipment, logistics and more, AND introduces you to the rest of the group.
• Access to the closed 100k in the UK Fitness Adventure Facebook Group – which provides your fitness accountability.

Your ONLINE training program has been developed by Women’s Fitness Adventures, based on years of experience and qualifications in both the fitness industry and hiking in the outdoors.

By following (that is “doing”) our training programs and actively moving “toward” your adventure you will become AdventureReady.

You will be required to carry a day pack of approximately 5 – 7kg.

Your pack will include the following items: minimum of 2 litres water, sunscreen, raincoat / rain pants, warm top, lunch, camera, hat and any items of a personal nature, including personal first aid/medications.

A comprehensive gear list will be supplied and explained once your booking is confirmed.

This adventure is graded as MODERATE to MODERATE PLUS. Please use this table as a guide and contact us if you have any questions regarding your current or future fitness level. We are here to help!!

If you are unsure as to your current fitness level please use this handy resource: How to find your hiking fitness level

It is important to come along with an open mind ready for an awesome experience whatever the weather, whoever the group. It is very important you bring the right gear for the conditions. Coastal Cornwall weather can be unpredictable and the weather can change quickly.

In the event of extreme weather conditions, the adventure may vary from the itinerary. Please be aware of this and accept this as part of the adventure.

We can’t wait to have you on this adventure!

Our fabulous adventures allow you to create memories and friendships that last a lifetime. At Women’s Fitness Adventures we are also committed to sustainable adventures so that the places and spaces we go will also last well beyond our lifetime and the many generations to follow. Sustainability starts when you join our community and never ends.

We are committed to the principles of minimal impact, leave no trace, tread lightly  and give back to the local community. Here’s how we do that for all of our adventures (short and long).

Consumables

• We encourage “no plastics” so bringing refillable water bottles, reusable cups and cutlery where applicable and using lunchboxes where plastic can be minimised.
• It’s a leave no trace principle, so all food scraps, toilet waste and rubbish items are carried out (see our Masterclass on Toileting for the Trail).
• We are committed to reducing paper waste inside our organisation and have implemented a paperless booking system.

Transport

• For this adventure, once in country, we use either foot or public transport as our mode of movement.
• When flying, we encourage you to offset your emissions by purchasing carbon offsets.

Minimal impact

• We have a “tread lightly” policy where we stay on known tracks and paths, minimising our impact to bush, plants and wildlife.
• Before we embark on an adventure or trail, we brief you on the flora, fauna and any other considerations that form the uniqueness of the environment so that you understand and appreciate the minimal impact approach.

Accommodation & Adventure Partners

• Where possible we partner with Eco Certified businesses who follow the same eco philosophies.
• Our adventures have all the applicable National Park permits and licenses to operate (or International equivalents).
• Our “give back” policy also applies to the locations we stay – choosing local operators, businesses and townships where funds spent go directly to small business owners – doing our part to create sustainable communities.
