The summit is what drives us, but the climb itself is what matters

Sir Edmund Hillary

There is simply no better feeling than being on the summit of a mountain after a challenging climb. The idea of hiking alone was not an option for me, as someone who relies on a sat nav to get anywhere. Matt and his team make it possible for me to enjoy adventures without the stress of getting lost. They have made me feel welcome, included and have made me realise I’m more capable than I realised.

Loved today, thank you Matt. Pictures do not do the views justice and you can't gauge the height we climbed but it was sooo worth it. For anyone that hasn't yet been on a walk with Matt, I highly recommend him as a guide. I went for the first time today not knowing anyone and he instantly made me feel at ease. He has great knowledge of the history and geography of the areas he is exploring and he also tells a good ghost story ....

I said no to going up Helvellyn via Striding Edge when I was 19. At 60, I did it with Matt guiding me and we also went down via Swirral Edge. I had been frightened and scared but with Matt’s help, patience and encouragement I did it and overcame a fear I held for 31 years. He gave me a belief in myself and my ability I never thought possible.

It was a really fantastic day, thoroughly enjoyed. Informative and interesting as well as a good hike. Slightly challenging in parts, but felt safe and confident to continue at all times. Tea, cake and a good chat at the end finishes the day perfectly 😊
