Early 2022 travel update: We are open for bookings!!
What I do in the UK
I organise and lead day walks, multi-day walks and activities (such as climbing, scrambling, caving etc) of any length that will get you out in the great outdoors.
This means I do the work. Planning, guiding, instructing and supporting you to get the most out of your experience. For inspiration and ideas of what you can do, see below or contact me.
Do you want to get away from the packed honeypot trails in the Dales and Lakes? Avoid the crowds on a day walk with me to beautiful less visited areas to experience quiet, solitude and incredible scenery.
Are you experienced walkers who prefer to travel without a leader? Not a problem, I can organise routes for you to head out alone to independently sample something new and special. In addition, I can organise pick ups and drop offs if the route is not circular and even bag drop if you do not want to carry more than a light day rucsac. It's all about making the most of every day.
Contact me for more information.
Thinking about tackling the famous Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge? Individually, as a family or as a group, I take charge of the route, timings, safety, motivation and exit logistics for anyone who might not manage the full day. Just relax and keep walking. I have lost count of the number of times I have led groups on this amazing and strenuous day out. One not to forget.
Contact me for more information.
Are you considering a weekend or a longer walking trip ?
Multi-day walks are a great way to sample what the UK has to offer. It could be within the Yorkshire Dales or Lake
District, maybe you feel ready to challenge yourself with one of the famous longer routes such as the Dales Way (80 miles), the Coast to Coast (180 miles) or Hadrian's Wall (84 miles). Full treks or maybe try just the 'best of' sections. I can advise, plan logistics and arrange pick-ups and drop- offs. In addition your baggage can be transported to your accommodation each night which means you travel light.
Contact me for more information.
Do you want to be more active? Ready for something new and adventurous? As a rock climbing instructor and cave leader I have been safely leading rock climbing, ghyll scrambling and caving sessions for nearly 40 years. These are great days to remember for families and groups of friends. All technical equipment can be provided.
Contact me for more information.
Winter is one of the most beautiful times to walk or just to be outdoors in, however it also brings with it additional organisational and safety issues. You can relax in the knowledge that you are secure on a guided winter walking day.
Contact me for more information.
Ready for something different ?
I consider myself lucky to regularly lead groups on such iconic treks as the Tour du Mont Blanc, the Walker's Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt, the Alta Via Uno in the magnificent Dolomites and many more. Why not join me. Find out more on the page 'What I do in Europe'.
