A group on cross-country skis gathered in the sun among snowy pines. All sixteen of us arm in arm under a big tree beside the Thames at Pangbourne. The group on and around a stone wall at the top of Box Hill, under a blue sky. A skier beside groomed cross-country tracks, cabins behind. The group gathered round the trig point on Box Hill, the valley in mist behind. A skier walking out of a mountain café in the snow.

What makes a No Tech Adventure

  1. Friends climbing a fallen tree and jumping into the Thames.

    Adventures in nature

    Days on the trails and rivers outside London, and longer trips into the mountains and along the coast.

  2. The group walking out of Pangbourne station with paper tickets in hand.

    Phones away

    Phones go off when we meet and stay off until we say goodbye, so the day gets your full attention.

  3. A long candlelit dinner table in a Norwegian cabin, full of friends.

    Connect with people

    You spend the day with people who came for the same reason and there is time to talk properly.

Expeditions

Multi-day trips with a proper challenge at the heart of them, in the UK and further afield.

I’ve never connected with that person on that level.

I actually just don’t want to go back on my phone now.

Our story

The mission behind No Tech Adventures is simple: to help you properly switch off and experience real human connection and the world around us again.

Growing up in rural Scotland with very little technology, we spent our childhood outdoors exploring, creating and sharing experiences together. Looking back now, those were our original No Tech Adventures.

Today, constant notifications, clickbait style content and endless doom scrolling are pulling us further away from the people and world around us. We want to create experiences that help people step away from the noise, reconnect with like-minded people and make meaningful memories together.

We’d love your input to help shape the trips and experiences people genuinely want and need. Thank you for being part of it!
