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

It was a wet 'n wild adventure for Manni, Hayley, Tim and Lee today around and on the lower slopes of Loughrigg. The Warwickshire based group wanted a nice walk out to experience the sights of the Lake District and it's fair to say they got the full rinse and repeat experience. This didn't dampen spirits and they loved their day out visiting some gusty spot heights as well as the Rydal Caves. Big thanks to LMG Carol for guiding them today. #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals

Big thanks to Matt, Harry, Jake and Adam for joining us this weekend for a bespoke winter skills course. These guys have got ambitions of climbing Mont Blanc in the summer, so they not only wanted to sharpen up their winter walking skills, but learn some skills specific to the alpine environment. On Saturday they were out with LMG Gibson on and around Helvellyn, covering all sorts from Ice axe arrest through to learning how to make a buried axe anchor. On Sunday LMGs Gibson a

Another day, and another superb winter day up on Helvellyn. Thankfully overnight temps dropped to provide some firmer snow for today, which gave the group an opportunity to get plenty of time in crampons and time using the ice axe. Our journey today saw us ascend Swirral Edge to the summit of Helvellyn. From this windy summit we descended Swirral Edge and then took in Catstycam before heading back into the valley. Thanks everyone, an awesome day! #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofes

A super day out with six keen beans introducing them to the delights of winter walking. The day started off a bit damp, but thankfully as we reached Red Tarn this stopped. We managed to cover walking in crampons, walking with an axe, avalanche awareness and lots of chat about planning such a day. Ground conditions report: The snow has pretty much disappeared from many of the north Western fells (seen when driving home) and Western facing slopes are pretty stripped. The snow t

Double Helvlyn via Striding Edge today as we had two different bespoke groups out. LMG Gibson has a super day with Lucy, Dan, Rebecca and Tom, whilst I had an equally super day with Mike and Becks. We didn't see much all day, but that didn't withdraw from the ever awesome scrambling experience Striding Edge offers. Well done all! #LivefortheNow #outdoorprofessionals #adventures #helvellyn #Lakedistrict

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

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. Get in touch for your bespoke ghyll scrambling or canyoni

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. Trying to catch every small breath of wind, they made quick work of ascending Lingmell Nose to the col followed by a super little scramble to nearly to the summit of Scafell Pike. 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

Scorchio on Scafell Pike today. LMG Carol was out leading and here's her report 'A hot, hot, hot day with Ajay, his daughter Priti and their friend Dan. Off for an adventure and dodging the crowds (and dodging the sun!!), we made our way to the summit of Scafell Pike via Styhead Tarn and the Corridor route from Wasdale head. Well done to Priti for an amazing and impressive 1st ever mountain journey and claiming England's highest as her 1st ever mountain. What a lovely, fun gr

Today was a double climbing sesh kinda day! Had a great morning with Jacob, Jack, Freddie, Alan and Hamish at Church Crag, before meeting Rich and Sammy for a session plus an abseil down in Borrowdale. Lots of new skills learnt and plenty of time getting some routes ticked off too! This is super half day activity, great for families. No previous experience required! Why not team it up with some ghyll scrambling and make a full adventure day of it!? #LivefortheNow #outdoorprof
