Many thanks for two great days in the Lakeland hills doing my Bronze navigation skills course. The relaxed and friendly approach of learning made the whole experience enjoyable. I feel more confident and now feel happier interpreting maps and using my compass more to better effect. I am keen now to look at doing my Silver stage. Thanks again to John (my patient instructor!). Two completely different days, and today when the mist lifted the views were fantastic. Maybe one day if I can get a bit of experience and looking at getting qualified to lead a group out on the hills I might offer myself as a freelancer!! I highly recommend The Lake District Walker to anyone unsure of which company to use to learn navigation skills.
'STRIDING EDGE & HELVELLYN' with the lovely Rachel! Thank you so much for an amazing adventure packed day and for kindly helping us get to and from the meeting point and hotel. We were feeling apprehensive and nervous about the Striding Edge part of the hike, but Rachel was so reassuring, calm and supportive, we felt very safe with Rachel and thoroughly enjoyed every part of the ridge and scramble! We loved the group company, it was like walking with old friends. Thank you again and we will definitely book another hike with the Lake District Walker when we return! Highly recommend!
Loweswater Fells 2nd February 2016. It was a blustery, grey day when we set off. It did get more blustery as the day wore on and although the sun came out, it didn't shine where we were! It was frustrating watching it in the far valleys, but it didn't rain!! After the previous few days that was a result! It was a super walk, but I would have enjoyed it more if I'd not been full of cold and generally feeling under the weather. Not the fault of the team guiding us. The other walkers in the group were lovely and I was made to feel very welcome as I was on my own. The top of the fells were very exposed to the wind and both my dog and I were struggling by the second peak and were happy to head back slightly earlier than the rest of the group. I was given very clear and accurate instructions as to how to return to the car park. I also knew that the group would only be half an hour behind me on the descent. I would recommend the Lake District Walker. The guides are knowledgeable and for me, it was fun being able to walk in company. Sometimes doing walks on your own all the time gets a bit dull. The dog's conversational skills are somewhat limited! Hope to be back for another trip soon.
I just wanted to thank your company and James for making it possible for me to climb the three peaks I had set as my goals. James was quietly confident and showed lots of patience. I wish him well ...he sounds like he knows where he wants to go! And hopefully I will come back in the near future to do lots more. Kind regards Beena
Big thank you to Adam for making the walk up Helvellyn and Striding Edge on Sunday good fun. Thoroughly enjoyed the scramble over Striding Edge then onto Helvellyn for views as far as the eye could see. Brilliant day.
Have used this company several times this year - excellent guides, very professional in every respect. Have really enjoyed every walk I've done with them - perfect! I won't hesitate in using them again in the future.
John. Thanks once again for a great day out. The weather was a challenge at times and I'm sure my own personal lack of fitness gave Jack a bit to think about. He was excellent on the day. Like James before, a credit to you to pick such good young mountain leaders. Very safe. Attentive. Prepared. Great local knowledge. I have enjoyed hiking to Scafell twice in the last 6 weeks, with my daughter and my fiancée TLDW. Successful days thanks to two very good guides and your company. I would not want to tackle SP without them! We will be back this year. I spoke to Jack about an idea for a trip with a group of grads from my company. Will be in touch. Thanks to you and Lyanda personally from me for looking after us. Regards. Dan
We joined a group walking up Scafell Pike on Saturday 11th August and loved it! Scafell is not easy at all, quite strenuous for a large part and some of the terrain is very difficult, but it's worth it! The view from the top is amazing if you're lucky enough to get a clear day. This trip was easy to book, and the information given was clear. We were provided details of the meet point as well as directions and a list of equipment we needed. Our guide, Hugh, was extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable and put us at our ease. I felt a little intimidated at first as some of our group were clearly experienced walkers and my husband and I were not nearly as fit as they were, but Hugh (and everybody in the group) were encouraging and friendly and made the day a great success. Thanks Hugh. Just do it, book a tour and go climb Scafell. It's worth the effort!
Thank you Rachel for leading a wonderful sunny climb up Scafell yesterday. You were an excellent guide for our group. The scenery, company and sunshine made it a perfect day.
