Two Day Navigation Training course

Over the last two days Charlie has been out with us on a bespoke 2 Day Navigation Training course. As with many people who seek out such courses, Charlie was keen to gain confidence in the map and compass method of navigation, and two days certainly provides the opportunity to consolidate those skills. Day 1 was all about the fundamentals of navigation and getting to grips with being accurate on paths. It finished off with some compass work, which would be continued on day 2.

Blencathra Guided Walk

Another 'all girlie day'...this time a superb scramble up a very greasy Hall's Fell Ridge on Blencathra yesterday. A fantastic effort by Kim and Fotini, scrambling to the summit, whilst making the most of the most challenging routes and conditions. Big thanks to LMG Carol and Trainee Sharon for leading this. #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventure #guiding #blencathra

Scafell Pike Guided Walk

A super early start for 3 'old' school friends, who had driven down from summiting Ben Nevis the previous day. A serene solitude awaited at the summit of Scafell Pike, after a rather swift ascent from Wasdale. Making light work of the terrain, the girls descended a 'quiet' route, singing merrily 'the hills are alive' and the hills were alive with an every changing swirling mist. It's a very rare occasion that the summit is deserted, though the car park was full on our return.

Adventure Day

Oh we do love our days out with the Yorkie Talkies Walking Group! This is our final planned Adventure Day of 2021 and we spent the day 'in the vertical'. This morning was kicked off with a spot of rock climbing in Langdale, and then this afternoon the group tackled a 35m abseil down a vertical wall at Hodge Close. Always a laugh and an absolute pleasure!! See some of you in Wales in a few weeks for some scrambling! #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventure #guiding

The Old Man of Coniston

A second day of bespoke guiding adventures for Louvaine and her family, but this time LMG Carol was their host. Here's what she had to say 'Joined by ‘Pops’ and dogs Lara and Bruno, a brisk ascent of the Old Man of Coniston was made via Crowberry Haws and Low Water. An eerie silence shrouded the Misty mountain with few other people venturing out. A circular route descending via Goat’s Water took us back to the Walna Scar road. Everyone wet with smiles and squelchy boots, the

Advanced Scrambling in Snowdonia

Dodging the rain down in North Wales this morning was returning client Nick. He was out with Mountaineering Instructor Tom and they enjoyed linking up some scrambles in the Ogwen Valley. One of these was the Cneifion Arete, which had been on Nick's hit list for a long time. A quick play and some skills on Tryfan Bach rounded off the day before running away for tea and medals away from the inbound weather! Well done and thanks both! #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #advent

Navigation Training Course in the Lake District

A very enjoyable few hours out above Honister this morning with returning LMG client Andrew. Andrew was a self confessed novice with a map and compass so he booked in for a bespoke Navigation training course to get his skills underway. We were just halfway through the day and Andrew had a beaming smile on his face, as already he'd grasped the concept and was feeling much more confident. This is always a treat to see for us instructors. The conditions today, providing you're n

Scafell Pike from Wasdale Guided Walk

Scafell Pike from Wasdale was the order of the day. LMG Carol was once again our representative for this family. 'What an achievement! Parents Benoit and Wendy with children Jo Jo, George and Millie (age 6yrs) scooted up the quiet routes to the summit of Scafell Pike in an amazing time of 3 hours to the top. After a long journey to Wasdale Head and some of them feeling quietly apprehensive, they were just an amazing family and it was a joy to spend the afternoon with them. A

A round of Helvellyn'a edges for Lee and Melanie today, under the guidance of LMG Ed. The couple were staying at the King's Head in Thirlmere, so after ascending to the summit they first descended to Striding Edge and enjoyed this classic scramble in reverse to the traditional direction. Once completed it was down to Red Tarn and then up Swirral Edge. Well done and thanks all! #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventures #helvellyn

Scafell Pike Guided Walk

A day on Scafell Pike with LMG Carol driving seat, and here's what she had to say... 'A great sense of achievement for the 6 'all female' group raising money for charity, as they summited Scafell Pike. The clag and mist was low all day, so views were limited and temperatures were really quite chilly, but this didn't dampen their enthusiasm, smiles and laughter. A BIG well done to you all!!' #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventure #guiding #ScafellPike

LMG Carol was out with Kat today. Here's what she had to say... 'Superb to spend the day with Kat, working on scrambling techniques across Striding and down Swirral. She romped it and looked totally confident and ‘at home’ on the ridges. Somehow managing to dodge the fog and rain over the edges. Well done Kat and now for the Cullins next stop for her.' #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventure #guiding #helvellyn
