Private Mountain Guiding

Do you want to explore the mountains of Britain with a Guide for that added security?

Quite simply, private mountain guiding is about taking you, friends and/or family out for a mountain experience. 

I take care of all of the route planning, navigation and can talk about the environment we're walking through.

​

Private mountain guiding can range from a day walk, a number of day walks, through to a wilderness backpacking adventure. 

​

Depending on where you want to go, that summit you've always wanted to reach, get in touch to discuss.

​

I can also help organise charity challenge events such as the Yorkshire Three Peaks.

Private Courses

I offer a range of courses that are described in detail on the Courses pages.

• Navigation: The basis for all mountain activities. I provide accredited courses or shorter private workshops to help you with particular aspects of your navigation. I can also hold private courses for clubs, societies or for friends and families.

• Rock Climbing: Whether you are a complete beginner or want to head out on rock for the first time, I can teach you what you need to know to get started.

• Winter Skills: For those wanting to take their hill and mountain skills further, I can introduce you to the tools and techniques required to go walking in winter conditions in the Cairngorms National Park

• Hill Craft: Anything you want to gain confidence with just get in touch.

Challenge Events and Corporate Days Out

If you and a group of friends or colleagues are raising money for a charity by doing one of the classic challenges (or even wanting to do a different one) then I can help.

If you want to take your team on an activity away day I can offer some hill walking, rock climbing or abseiling. I've worked with a number of organisations on charity events and I've seen how the 'walking' aspect can often lead to that innovation spark or solution. Climbing can create new bonds among team members. 

The challenges are typically:

• Yorkshire Three Peaks

• Edale Skyline

• Ben Nevis

I steer clear of the National Three Peaks for various reasons of safety and the fact it's more of a driving race than anything else.
