From our experience:
The ethos...
At the core of all Lakeland
Mountain Guiding activities is an enthusiasm
and fascination with nature and the great outdoors.
They aim to share
this with you and give you the best possible experience by offering
the perfect combination of fun, hospitality and adventure in an
informative way. And all surrounded by the outstanding scenery of the
Lake District.
A fresh view...
They want to shift the outdoor experience away from bagging summits
purely for tick-lists, bragging rights and panoramic photos and
encourage clients to enjoy and respect the entire mountain
environment. You'll discover there's much more to a day in the
mountains than the summits and the footpaths to get there.
They intend to help even the most experienced visitor see the area in a new light
and make the familiar appear fresh.
Minimum impact
They encourage
enjoyment of the outdoors with minimal impact, which is easily
attained through a few careful considerations.
It's not about the gear
You don't have to own expensive, flashy new equipment to enjoy the
outdoors. Nor should you have to conform to the 'rugged outdoorsman'
stereotype. Outdoor activities should be accessible regardless of your
income or knowledge of the latest technical jargon and the gear that
goes with it.
No pain, no gain?
Spending time outdoors shouldn't be solely
as part of some character building challenge or military style
experience, leaving little time to appreciate the superb natural
environment. Being outside is great, it's good for you, it's where we
all belong and it ought to be fun.
The Activities
Guided Walking
Enlist the services of an experienced, qualified mountain leader for
your mountain walk. We have a programme of regular, guided walks or
private guiding for you, your family or group. Whether you need a
guide for one of the challenging classics such as Helvellyn or Scafell
Pike, or would like access to the local knowledge that adds more to a
day in the hills we can help.
Mountain Skills
Ghyll Scrambling
From their website:
There's one thing we have a lot of in the Lake District - Water! And
there is one thing we definitely can't (so far) control - the
weather! And that is why Ghyll Scrambling (also known as Gorge
Walking) is the perfect activity to book in on your trip to the Lake
District. There are a few different fun ghylls we can scramble here
in the Lake District. Some will see you sliding down natural
features or jumping into plunge pools, and others climbing up
waterfalls. If you want to crank it up a level you can head for a
session of 'Epic Canyoning'. This will see you abseil some huge
waterfalls with the amazing fells as a backdrop as you go. Ghyll
Scrambling and Canyoning makes the perfect stag or hen party
activity, and if you want twice as much adventure, check out our
Adventure Days.
All kit will be provided (wetsuit, buoyancy aids,
helmets, harnesses, ropes etc) but you will be required to bring
shoes and underclothes for wearing in the ghyll, plus a dry change
for after. A full kit list will be provided upon booking. Expect a
bucket load of cool pics after your activity too!
