From guided hikes in the UK to wild camping trips under the stars, the Great British Adventure Club connects you with the UK’s largest community of independent mountain guides — designing and leading authentic, off-the-beaten-path adventures that showcase Britain at its wildest.
We're the GBAC — one of the UK's largest networks of independent mountain guides. Qualified Mountain Leaders, wild campers and adventure professionals, pooling decades on the hill to offer expert-led trips the length of the country.
From guided wild camping to day hikes and skills courses, our small-group trips are led by guides who know these landscapes properly — with gear rental bundles available so you can focus on the experience, not the faff.
You'll find us wild camping in the Cairngorms, day hiking the Lake District, running navigation courses on Dartmoor and fast packing the Brecon Beacons. Wherever the adventure is, we hope to take you with us.
Welcome to the club.
Each adventure is led by expert guides who own and operate their trips, creating authentic journeys shaped by passion and experience.
GBAC guides are fairly rewarded. By taking only a commission, they earn more, own their trips, and focus on delivering the best experience.
Our trips leave a lasting mark — from summiting peaks to sharing laughter round the campfire, every moment becomes a lasting memory.
Our guides are chosen with care, fully insured, DBS checked and GBAC approved — giving you confidence your adventure is in safe hands.
We keep every trip small for a friendlier, more personal feel — where journeys unfold naturally and every shared story becomes a memory.
With one of the UK’s largest guide networks, your adventure is always secure — if one guide can’t make it, another steps in with passion.
Honest gear reviews, route guides, training tips and UK-specific advice from the same mountain leaders who run our trips. Built on real testing in real British conditions — so you head out knowing your kit, your route, and your weather.
