Hill Walking in The Lake District
Why go walking? Well, the Lake District National Park contains some of the UK's most beautiful scenery that has inspired poets and writers for centuries and is closer to many people's homes than they may think. The Lake District is home to England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike at 3210 feet, as well as the instantly recognisable profile of the Langdale Pikes and the famous Striding Edge on Helvellyn. Mountain walking in the Lake District is a great opportunity to get away from the trials and tribulations of everyday life and find a few moments of peace in the world. Oh, and it's a bit of exercise too.
Now, generally hill / mountain walking will involve a bit of up. That doesn't mean that you'll be gasping for breath due to lack of oxygen. I cater for gentle lakeside rambles around one of the many tranquil lakes or tarns of the Lake District to full blown multi day trips to some of the Lake District's wilder more remote corners. If peak bagging's your thing then the Lake District has a number of challenges to keep you going: the 214 Wainwrights including four 3000-footers for a start.
Whatever your aspirations, I can guide you to some awesome places and you'll pick up some new skills along the way too if you want. Don't panic if you haven't got lots of expensive kit, as long as you've got a comfy pair of boots I can provide you with all the warm and wet weather gear you may need-unfortunately the sun doesn't always shine in the British hills!
