Mountain Walking and
Scrambling
Almost all of the high mountain peaks of The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and
Snowdonia can be reached by simply walking, all you need is a reasonable level
of fitness and to be appropriately equipped.
There are many optional lesser known routes for most summits, well away from the
popular tourist trails. On the other hand, many summits offer the opportunity
for more adventurous ascents with rocky scrambles over steeper ground, or up a
mountain ghyll, the choice is yours.
Local knowledge based on many years exploring these wonderful places can be put
at your disposal to ensure you have an experience to remember.
Mountain experiences can also be planned specifically for individuals and small groups or families based on your particular requirements, whether they are single day events, a short residential break or one week programme including multi-day backpacking treks. Perhaps there is a particular mountain you want to climb, a particular valley you wish to explore, or a special route you want to follow, your specific wishes can usually be granted.
Outdoor activity breaks and educational field trips can be arranged for school and college groups, the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales offering unique opportunities to study landform, geology and geography.
