Lake District Mountaineering

I had a days guided climbing with Sam at Lake District Mountaineering - fantastic day out, and thoroughly professional guiding. Great routes selected for the day and I had a great time and would book again the next time I am in the Lake district.

I would recommend LDM/Sam to anyone looking for high quality mountaineering instruction, and in particular to anyone with some experience that they're looking to build on (although I'm sure LDM would be great for beginners too!).

What a brilliant day’s walking in the Lakes. Our guide, Steve was friendly, patient and chatted to each of as we walked.
