Their skilled skippers, dive crews, and wildlife spotters bring a deep understanding of the area’s conditions and marine life, ensuring safety, precision, and ethical wildlife encounters. 📅 Week 1: 5-12 July 2026, Week 2: 13-20 July 2026 📍Wild Coast, South Africa 👥 Max 7 guests · small group only 🤿 Open to freedivers, snorkelers & ocean enthusiasts **WHAT'S INCLUDED** ✅ 6 full days on the water ✅ 7 nights at Eco Swell Lodge (private en-suite chalet, ocean views) ✅ All meals · freediving gear · expert local crew ✅ Professional marine photography + 1 trip video ✅ Transport to/from Mthatha Airport ✅ Massage included 🙌 We will freedive & snorkel.

THE LYSEFJORD CIRCUIT - HUT-TO-HUT IN NORWAY

**Lysefjord is one of the most beautiful places in Norway. Its huge granite cliff face reflects the light unusually more than its neighbours which is how it earned its name, meaning the light fjord.** Our plan is to complete a full lap of the Fjord on **The Lysefjorden Rundt Trail** in 6 hiking days. The trail is 52 miles and has almost 6000m of ascent, staying in a mixture of mountain cabins and hostels along the way. This is a **very challenging trail**, not due to distance but because it involves alot of very steep up and down on slippery, exposed trails often aided with cables so you must have confident footwork and a good head for heights to the join this trip. There are so many highlights on this stunning tour of the fjord. As well as the incredible Norwegian views and landscapes, we will see; * Pulpit rock or Preikestolen, a vertigo inducing cliff top plateau 600m above the water * The hanging boulder of Kjeragbolten * The 4444 steps of the Florli staircase, the longest wooden staircase in the world * The infinity pool of Fantapytten, where the brave can take a plunge! **ITINERARY** Arrival Day - Fly into Stavanger and check into our hotel. Day 1 - 12.5kms, transfer 1.15hr to the trail-head and hike to the fjordside hostel at Florli Day 2 - 18.5kms, 1600m ascent. From Florli to the self-service Langavatn mountain hut via the Kjerag plateau including the 4444 steps Day 3 - 12.5kms to the top of the Oygardsstolen zig zags past the famous hanging boulder. Accommodation in the village at the Lysebotn lodge. Day 4 - 20 kms. Transfer to the road end then hike to the unserviced Bakken Gard Hut. This is a long day and finishes with some basic scrambling aided with cables. Day 5 - 15 kms and 1500m ascent & descent. A narrow and exposed trail undulating heavily. Accomodation at the Priekestolen basecamp hostel. Day 6 - 9 kms to our finish at Høllesliheia via the infinity pool of Fantapytten. Transfer 45 mins back to Stavanger back to the comfort of our hotel. Departure day - Catch a flight home or travel onwards to keep the adventure going in Scandanvia This is not the Norwegian wilderness, the Lysefjorden Rundt connects popular sights and beauty spots where we will be sharing the trail with plenty of others. The privilege as a hiker, however, is to walk the stunning trails in between the busy areas, over the rugged hill tops to the mountain cabins where we will leave the tourists behind. **ACCOMMODATION** The Langavatn hut is a 'self-service' cabin, which means they have an unstaffed food store where we can buy provisions but we will need to cook them ourselves. The Bakken Gard hut is 'unserviced' which means we will have to carry in our food for that nights dinner which can be purchased the day before. There is a fully equipped kitchen for us to use. The rest of our accommodations have restaurants. We will need to bring a sleeping bag liner for use at all the huts, duvets are pillows are provided but no bed linen. Please note that although we always try to allocate seperate male and female dorms, due to the mixture of accommodation that this trip requires it will not always be possible. **DIFFICULTY** There are two main challenges on this trail, the vertigo and the ascent. There are some steep and exposed sections on the trail so if you don't have a good head for heights then this trip is not for you. We also need to be prepared for lots of up and down on steep trails, our biggest day has 3000m of elevation change, 1500m up and 1500m down. We will also need to carry our clothes and toiletries with us on the trail as luggage transfer is not possible. **WHAT'S INCLUDED** * 6 days of guided hiking on the Lysefjord Rundt. Qualified Mountain Leader and certified first aider. * 2 nights shared twin room hotel accommodation in Stavanger. * 5 nights accommodation in mountain huts or hostels in shared dorms * Financial protection in accordance with the Package Travel Regulations 2018. **WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED** * Flights * Travel Insurance * Meals * Bus transfers in and out of Lysebotn (approx £18pp for each bus) * Taxi transfers from Stavanger to the start of the hike and back from the end point - I will organise these and let people know a rough cost closer to the time. * Luggage Transfer (not possible on this trail) **TRAVEL TO STAVANGER** Stavanger is less than a 2 hour flight from London! Saturday is the only day without direct flights from the UK to Stavanger so this trip will start and finish on Friday. Here are the recommended flights. If you would like to book alternative flights please make sure to be in Stavanger on Friday 17 July. We will be back in Stavanger at around 18.00pm on the 23rd July. Outbound - Friday 17 July Norwegian DY1335 Departs London Gatwick 10:30 Arrives Stavanger 13:10 Return - Friday 24 August Norwegian DY1334 Departs Stavanger 08.45 Arrives London Gatwick 09:50 **HOW TO BOOK** To confirm your place on this trip use internet banking. **Please use NORWAY1 as your payment reference**.

KAZAKHSTAN - THE WILD HEART OF CENTRAL ASIA

🧙 Царство Авалон

Мы отправляемся в одно из самых мистических мест Великобритании — Glastonbury🧙‍♂️ (Гластонбери), небольшой городок в графстве Сомерсет. История этого места тесно связана с именем Короля👑 Артура и царством Авалон. По легенде, смертельно раненного в бою короля фея Моргана, его сестра, перенесла на сказочный остров, где жили феи🧚‍♀️ и эльфы🧝‍♂️. Именно здесь обитал волшебник Мерлин🧙‍♂️, с помощью которого Артур смог получить священный меч. Считается, что Glastonbury — это и есть сказочный Авалон, а король Артур с супругой захоронены⚰️ на территории Гластонберийского аббатства. Но не только легендами о короле Артуре славится Гластонбери. В нашем туре мы посетим Chalice Well (Источник Чаши) — один из самых древних каменных колодцев Великобритании, который существует здесь уже два тысячелетия😳. По легенде, в источнике спрятан Святой Грааль, сохранивший кровь Христа. Некоторые полагают, что именно поэтому вода имеет красноватый оттенок и считается целебной💉. Воду из подземного источника разрешается пить. На дубовой крышке колодца изображен древний символ единения неба и земли. Говорят, что, вглядываясь в колодец, можно ощутить тонкую грань, отделяющую наш мир от мира духов🧟‍♂️. Парк, на территории которого расположен колодец, объявлен заповедником. Огромным количеством тайн, домыслов и мифов окутан холм Тор. Многие считают, что именно он и является вратами в царство Авалон. И для такого предположения есть причины: столько всего загадочного, непознанного и недоступного пониманию сосредоточено на этом небольшом холме. Уже несколько веков Тор привлекает внимание исследователей и любителей древних загадок. Так, например, было установлено, что тропа ведущая на вершину, представляет собой спиральный лабиринт, который в кельтской мифологии считался символом входа в Иной мир. А значит, вполне возможно, что там, где заканчивается тропа и находились (а может быть, и находятся!) врата в царство Авалон☝🏼. Одни полагают, что Тор — это место жертвоприношения, созданное руками человека, другие считают, что здесь стираются границы параллельно существующих миров. Возможно, когда-нибудь людям удастся раскрыть все загадки Glastonbury, а пока, сменяя век за веком, это место манит путешественников, скрывая в себе загадочные тайны.

A summer's evening in the parks: Wimbledon Common to Richmond Park

Join us for an evening wander across the (relative!) wilderness of Wimbledon Common, through the deer-filled expanses of Richmond Park and down to the River Thames. This gentle stroll includes a few easy ups and downs and is a chance to enjoy the (hopefully) warm summer evening air before finishing in Richmond for an optional drink or two.

We believe these activities offer attendees the chance to form meaningful and strong connections with like-minded individuals. [[why it matters](https://tinyurl.com/28sh83cn)].* ✊ *Reminder: Active Muslims is equally about focusing on the actual activity, in this case, it is a paced hike (and not a stroll), therefore it is advised to approach and attend these events with that [mindset](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBhPWpdIMKq/?igsh=MWVjdnZrdGZwd3dmYw==).* 🟠 **HIKE:** 📏 \~15km (\~10 miles) 🏔️ Elev.
