It wasn't much of a day for views, but the company more than made up for it. A slightly soggy, but lovely time with Vencia up Scafell Pike today. We approached from Seathwaite via the Corridor Route and she loved this. What's more is this now finalises her journey to the top of the three national peaks. Thanks to gusty wind and icy boulders we opted to return back the same way, as oposed to over the tops via Esk Hause as usual. At least I had my flask to navigate by... 😝 #Li

And just when we thought it couldn't get any better... The sunshine comes out to play! 🌞 I was out with three fresh faces today running another intro to winter skills course on Helvellyn. Much the same day as what we ran yesterday with regards to what we covered, but this time with sunshine, views and some slightly crunchier snow. You only have to see how many of these pics have big smiles featured in them to get an idea for how good a day these folks had. Big thanks everyon

A mega day with LMG regular Jo helping her bump her Wainwright tally up to 106 (of 214). We enjoyed a day ticking off BIrkhouse Moor, Catstycam, Helvellyn, Nethermost Pike and Dollywagon Pike. The autumnal colours and light out there at the moment is epic!! 👌 #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventure #guiding

After a good soaking on Tuesday, Pat was out again on Friday with such a contrast in weather….and what a fantastic day it was. Helvellyn via Swirral Edge with views everywhere. Pat’s 2nd ever day in the mountains and he soaked up the miles and the views. #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventures #guiding #helvellyn

A super day on the one and only Scafell Pike today with the Patel Family. We were meant to be out yesterday and thanks to an absolutely garbage forecast we bumped our hike on 24 hours. I wasn't expecting much from the weather today, but oh my, we got lucky! We did catch a few showers, but most of our day was spent enjoying extensive views and even a bit of sunshine. The guys even gained a view from the summit!! Lots of chat all the way up and down, all of which only took the

LMG Ed was out on Helvellyn via Striding Edge today. Here's what he had to say 'A great day out with a lovely family. We worked on movement and safeguarding skills before a crossing of the edges which got progressively busier and were rather clogged up in places. On Swirral Edge we got to experience two firsts for me on this mountain. Unfortunately the increased traffic that we are seeing on popular routes in the lakes is leading to more erosion and loose rock, particularly w

More Welsh scrambling action on the cards today. Returning LMG clients Becky and Darren were out with LMG Gibson taking on Clogwyn Y Person Arete, which grade 3 *** scramble on the northern side of Crib Y Ddysgl. Over the years the pair have done a number of grade 1 scrambles with us, so they were keen for an extra challenge as they stepped into the realms of roped scrambling. From the top of the route they then traversed Crib Goch and descended via it's North Ridge. Epic wor

A mega day in the shadow of Snowdon with our good friends over at Yorkie Talkies Walking Group. We enjoyed a scramble up Cribau, and after looking up to a busy Snowdon Summit we opted to stick to quieter trails over Y Lliwedd. We enjoyed yet more good scrambling before heading back down to Pen Y Pass. A big thanks to Ady for guiding with me today, and thanks to the group for being ace! #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventures #guiding #Snowdonia #snowdon

Back on Saturday regular Charlie was back for some more mountaineering with us. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't all too peachy but fortunately a route known as Corvus is ideal for such a day! LMG Gibson led Charlie up this interesting and varied route, passing on skills such as how to build belays along the way. #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventures #guiding #rockclimbing

A partially soggy day on Scafell Pike yesterday for this bunch of pals, but it didn't dampen spirits! Approaching from the Seathwaite side, led by LMG Ush, these ladies had a top day on England's tallest mountain! #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventure #guiding #ScafellPike

Bussssyyyyy times today with activities of all kind being enjoyed all over the Lake District. Guided Walking - over Lingmoor Fell where the Heather is in full bloom for one family, and a walk up Scafell Pike for another. We also had a group out on Helvellyn via Striding Edge. Guided Scrambling in the Duddon Valley- for Claire, Inigo and Rafa as they enjoyed their final activity of their holiday with us today. Great effort all! Ghyll Scrambling - in both the AM and the PM! We

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

Good work by clients Tom and Sophie for having dispatched the North Ridge of Tryfan today in fine style. Led by LMG Ady, and assisted by trainee Kerry, the guys scrambled up this fantastic route as the clouds swirled around them. #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventure #guiding #tryfan

Big thanks and well done to everyone who joined us for our Open Event walk up Helvellyn via Striding Edge today! Thanks to LMG's Ush and Gibbo for leading today. #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventure #guiding #helvellyn

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.

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

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

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

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

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
