Fitness Preparation For About Argyll

• During your holiday with About Argyll, you will hike on a variety of terrain, ranging from well-maintained paths and tracks to rough and pathless country. Rocks, heather, grass, through woods and scrubland and over uneven and wet terrain - on most days you will experience all of these. It’s fair to say that Scotland can be very wild and tough going: 10 miles here being often much harder than 10 miles elsewhere.

Building on these programs, Fit for Trips will design a personalized fitness program for you to make sure that your holiday can be as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.

They had also benefited from the self-assurance gained from a healthy lifestyle and being physically fit. With over twenty years of fitness experience and a passion for adventure travel, Marcus created Fit for Trips so that every adventurer could enjoy their travels as much as he has.
