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 Englands 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. Then there's the long distance footpaths: the Cumbria Way, taking in some of the Lake District's classic summits and passes, the Cumbria Coastal Way and the Cistersian Way.
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!
Availability & prices
Guided walks are available all year round, from one day adventures to as long as your feet will let you! The daily rate of £150 is for up to 6 people, so mountain walking in the Lake District can be a really good value activity for a group of friends, colleagues or families.
As with all of my courses, I will tailor make a walking trip to suit you. Please feel free to call or email me to discuss your requirements.
