Trekabout






Throughout our meetings we have been developing our business proposal and have now created our business 'Trekabout'.

Trekabout is an interactive, online travel agency for hillwalkers of all abilities that promotes small businesses and nurtures the hill walking community. Customers can create a personal profile on Trekabout that gives others a sense of their abilities and acheivements as a hill walker. Our accessible website is a hub where hill walkers can arrange each part of their trip, from travel and accommodation, to borrowing equipment and recruiting friends to their walk. Personal profiles, forums and photography gallery will spur on new friendships and communications within the hillwalking community and give less competent walkers the chance to find experiences walkers to aid them on their journey.



We respect that the hill walking community are protective of the small businesses and accommodation they use on a regular basis, so Trekabout aims to promote these places and provide them with a regular business but only that are recommended, tries, tested and found to meet our high standards. We want these services to help themselves by helping us, by looking after their customers that will lead the way, rather than our own predictions. It encourages a post-consumerist outlook on life, where people can learn, at little cost, that great experiences can be uncovered right on their doorstep.
