Guided Mountain Trips

Guided group hikes & walking adventures in the Lake District and surrounding areas

From relaxed valley walks to challenging mountain days, we provide a variety of guided hikes and walking adventures matched to your experience, confidence and goals.

We cover areas across the Lake District National Park, Cumbria, the Yorkshire Dales, and the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire.

Mountain days are designed as full or half days and can be tailored towards a specific focus, such as challenging terrain, social hikes, women-only, or slower nature connection-focused hikes.

Our hill days out are professionally guided by an experienced local guide in a safe, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and are designed to be adventurous without ego and overwhelm and with a focus on encouragement and wellbeing.

We cater for people at all levels, including:

  • Beginners & people who are new to the outdoors or the Cumbria area
  • Skilled walkers looking for new challenges
  • Hill baggers looking for specific guided routes & summits
  • People who want to learn new skills (e.g. navigation or hill skills)
  • Join a group hike & meet like-minded people
  • Outdoor adventure seekers
  • Friends & social groups
  • Corporate groups

Private guiding & bespoke days:

If you are a group, couple or individual looking for a 1:1 or private guiding day, please get in touch with your requirements. Private guiding days are tailored towards your goals:

  • Specific summits, routes or an area you want to visit
  • Or tell us your vibe and ideal day, and we use local knowledge to design a day to suit your theme (eg. a wild swim, hike & classic Lakeland pub finish).

Prices:

  • Full day from £185-200 (depending on length, location & terrain)
  • £110 for a half day (2-3 hours).
  • Group hikes (price per person), from £40.
