Why book with Lake District Guiding?

Here are 6 reasons, in no particular order.

The 'Triple Bottom Line'...

Lake District Guiding is committed to environmental and social responsibility in business, not just financial success. And this isn't just the standard 'greenwash' - the enjoyment and appreciation of the outdoors is what Lake District Guiding is all about and it's in all our interests to look after our environment.

Peak-baggers beware!

You'll discover there's much more to a day in the mountains than the summits and the footpaths to get there. All routes are planned to be enjoyable and informative from beginning to end, regardless of altitude gained.

It's not about the gear...

You don't have to be wearing expensive, flashy new gear to enjoy the outdoors. Nor should you have to conform to the 'rugged outdoorsman' stereotype. I believe that outdoor activities should be accessible regardless of your income or knowledge of the latest jargon.

Minimum impact

Lake District Guiding encourages enjoyment of the outdoors with minimal impact, which is easily attained through a few careful considerations. Walking group sizes will never exceed 8, and for mountain biking, wild camping and navigation courses the maximum group size is 6. Over-used areas are avoided where possible and measures are always taken to reduce any detrimental impact on the mountain environment.

No pain, no gain?

Nonsense. Spending time outdoors shouldn't be solely as part of some character building challenge or military style experience, leaving little time to appreciate the superb natural environment. Being outside is great, it's good for you, it's where we belong and it ought to be fun.
