Summer Trip to Mull - 12 - 16 May 2027

At the end of every year, we go on a summer trip and in May 2027, we'll ge going to Mull in Scotland.

However, to come on this trip, it is important that students have been with the group for a while as the connections that form through the monthly walks is really important. You will need to build trust with our blind hikers, as you'll need to know strengths, weaknesses and techniques.

You won't be able to come on the trip without going on the monthly walks as the team bond is really important, and it is what makes Take a Hike Special.

If you've ever seen Balamory, then you've seen how beautiful Mull is. This summer we'll be taking a drive to the North West of Scotland to visit Mull, an incredibly beautiful island.

Update: The deposit for Tobermory Youth Hostel has been paid so it's happening.
