Lake District guided walking (full day)
Service Description
Choosing a guided walk takes all the stress out of planning your trip to the Lake District - I will take care of planning the ideal route for you. You might want to find the best views that the Lakes has to offer, or the perfect secluded spot for wild swimming. Your walk could also include a picnic with a view, a meander along the lake shore, a scramble up the fellside, or a stop at a pub or cafe. It will be tailored exactly to your wishlist, ensuring that you have the perfect day out. I tailor walks for individuals, families, couples and small groups (up to a maximum of six people). On booking you will be emailed a form to tell me about your group, your preferences for your walk, and details of any special occasion you might be celebrating (I specialise in carrying birthday cakes up mountains!). I’ll then be in touch to discuss the perfect route for your day. I mainly work through the Central and Western Lakes - if you are thinking of a walk further east than Staveley or north of Keswick, please get in touch before booking so I can put a little more time in my calendar. Family groups may be interested to note my background in education, specifically in pastoral care; I worked for many years in school leadership. I have worked with hundreds of teenagers and their parents in all kinds of circumstances, and am highly experienced in the nuances of family dynamics and teenage behaviour! Teenagers (all of us, really) communicate much better while moving in the outdoors than they do while sitting still inside, and I will quietly and unobtrusively work to enable a family day out that connects you to one another and will serve as a memorable day spent away from phones in one another’s company. Full day walks generally start at 9am - please choose this time when booking.
