Lakes guided mountain walks

We are mountain guides with good local knowledge; some of us are qualified Mountain Leaders too. The ML Qualification means we have been tested in all the skills necessary to ensure your enjoyment and safety and have good navigational experience and know the mountains in Lakeland but have experience in other areas too e.g. Ireland, Scotland and Wales. We all have a current First Aid Certificate.

All our walks start from outside the Moot Hall in Keswick's Market Square, choose a walk and just turn up. Walks start at either 9 am or 10 am: refer to our Programme for times. Classic Walks all start at 9 am and are longer and more strenuous, sometimes involving a later return. These cost £15 per adult and £4 per child. Half day walks are half price i.e. £6 adult, £2 child.

Most of our A,B & C walks are between 6 and 8 miles; costs of these are: £12 per adult: £4 per child (under 16): children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. See Equipment for what to wear.

Leaders will advise on the terrain and nature of the walk. In the interest of the group as a whole the leader may refuse to take anyone who appears unlikely to be able to complete the walk. The walk may be changed by the leader if conditions deteriorate.

Most walks require transport; bus, launch and taxi fares are extra. Well behaved dogs are welcome, please bring a lead. All 9am starts are indicated in the right column of the Programme.
