Classic Walks


Mountain & Gorge Scrambling


Rock Climbing & Abseiling


Kayaking and Canoeing

With over thirty years of instructional experience in the outdoors Stuart is an experienced and safety conscious instructor. He holds nationally recognised qualifications in mountain walking, rock climbing, kayaking and canoeing. His mild manner and sense of humour and love of the great outdoors inspires and enthuses those with a sense of adventure. Courses can be dedicated to one activity or mixed and matched and adapted to suit individual preferences and abilities. Working in the Lake District, or the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, Stuart offers the following activities:-

• Covers all map and compass skills, including poor visibility and night navigation techniques such as timing, pacing, following bearings across country, etc.

• Langdale Pikes, Scafell (the highest mountain in England), Helvellyn via the famous Swirral Edge and Striding Edge. These are some of the favourites, there are many, many more, too many to list.

• How about a day of rock scrambling. Away from the well worn paths, try some classic routes up to the summits. For example Jacks Rake (Pavey Ark), Sharp Edge (Blencathra), Pinnacle Ridge (Saint Sunday Crag), with so many more to choose from.
• Gorge scrambles, wet or dry.

Stuart caters for families, groups, corporate, stag and hen parties.  A minimum of four people per group.  Under 18's must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

All the above activities can be booked on a single day, weekend or multi day programmes. For example, a typical weekend we would meet Friday evening for a safety and planning brief and kit check. Saturday and Sunday are two full days of activities of your choice.

You will need to provide your own food and arrange your own accommodation, though we are happy to help you with this.
