Adventure Day

This is how it's done 🤙 So good to host this Ghyll Scrambling and Via Ferrata Extreme Combo Adventure day for this bunch of colleagues and pals. Our day kicked off with a super fun descent of Stoneycroft Ghyll, and after a bite to eat we went full send on the Via Ferrata Extreme course at Honister. Such a fun day with a lovely bunch of people 🙌 #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventureday #ghyllscrambling #viaferrata

Guided National 3 Peaks Challenge

A real pleasure this weekend to support charity @my_oppo_org with their National 3 Peaks Challenge attempt. The group had some excellent weather on Ben Nevis and they stormed this in just under and over 5.5 hours. They then unfortunately got held up in an accident on their journey south and this put any chance of a sub 24 hour success to bed. When they arrived in Wasdale it was however a lovely evening and everyone got stuck in. The luck was out once more as we seemed to hit

Tremendous Tryfan for returning clients Celia and Sue. Blue skies, sunshine and warm rock all produced a perfect day to be on one of the finest mountains in the UK. LMG Ady and trainee Kerry led Sue and Celia up the North Ridge, tackling many of the awesome obstacles this Ridge has to offer. Awesome stuff!! #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventure #guiding #tryfan #wales #snowdonia

Ghyll Scrambling and Canyoning in the Lake District

Full send on Stoneycroft Ghyll today with this bunch of pals 🤙 We kicked things off with a slip slidin' time down the upper section, of which the big jump was the highlight yet again. After this fun warm up we ventured into the canyon and descended some waterfalls by abseiling. This section of the ghyll really is pretty awesome, and a great extended adventure for anyone wanting to take a step up from ghyll scrambling.

Two scorching days in a row on Scafell Pike for LMG Carol. 'What a pleasure to spend the day with Ryu, son Hugo and Daughter Natsuki.

A speedy descent towards Wasdale for a well-earned foot dip in the beck and a rather hot day for dad to achieve his 1st mountain summit! Another fab day with a genuin

Helvellyn and Striding Edge Guided Walk

Whilst I was down in Coniston running a ghyll scrambling session in Church Beck yesterday, Ed was on Helvellyn. Here's what he had to say... ' A hot, sweaty day on Helvellyn with today’s group ascending Helvellyn via Striding Edge with lots of water stops and splashing of heads at any available point. Almost a brief snooze while enjoying the sun and views from a lunch stop just off the summit before tackling Swirral Edge. Then a refreshing dip and foot soak in Glenridding Bec

Today was one of our Scafell Pike 5 Peak Challenge and Carol was out in the lead today... 'Sometimes days are just special and this was one of those days.

A top bespoke intro to Navigation course today for Andi and Sarah. Under the guidance of LMG Ush they enjoyed some time on and around Haystacks getting to grips with the map and compass.
