What's on offer?

Join a public walk

My public walks are designed to take you into some great Lake District scenery, including reaching one or more fell tops. The walks vary in degree of difficulty but all should be within the capacity of reasonably fit adults. Most will however be too arduous for small children. As the maximum party size is 12, please book in advance to avoid disappointment. The walks normally last all day and cost £15 per adult (child reductions may be offered on suitable walks). See " Cost and Availability" for the current programme.

Arrange a tailor made walk

Choose an old favourite, repeat one on the public programme or go somewhere totally different. Tell me about your party'’s experience and I will be happy to advise. Walks can be arranged throughout the Lake District and the western Yorkshire Dales.

Landscape interpretation

I normally include something on the formation, history, wildlife and current management of the landscape encountered as a matter of course. Tell me what particularly interests you in advance or leave the choice entirely to me.

Introduction to navigation skills

For a more memorable day why not combine a walk with discussing use of map and compass and trying out simple navigation exercises. A day on some of the more intricate lower fells would allow time to focus on aspects of navigation and still reach some first class viewpoints. The choice of area and exercises undertaken can be tailored to meet your specific requirements. Please inquire about walk price supplements.

Navigation skills courses

One day courses tailor-made to suit all levels of ability, from basic map reading skills and compass use to detailed contour interpretation and relocation skills. Maps and compasses provided.
