Welcome to Muddy Boots Hiking Adventures

Explore Wales on foot with a personal guide

Join Cari Evans of Muddy Boots Hiking Adventures for a guided walk tailored to your interests, experience and pace. Routes range from gentle countryside walks to more challenging mountain days in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), with coastal and hill walks elsewhere in Wales.

Cari is a qualified Mountain Leader, trained in Outdoor Emergency First Aid and a member of the Mountain Training Association. She will discuss your goals and walking experience before helping you choose a suitable route.

Walks include options around Llyn y Fan Fach, Fan Hir and Llyn y Fan Fawr, as well as routes on Gower and in the Preseli Hills. The walks on the website are examples: ask Cari if you have another place in mind, or would like to arrange a walk for a family or group.

Check the distance, terrain, meeting point and kit requirements when booking. Walking boots are recommended, and waterproof clothing is needed; Cari can advise on equipment before your walk.
