The best conversations rarely happen around a meeting table or virtual call.
Imagine swapping emails for fresh air, screens for mountain views and scheduled meetings for meaningful conversations.
At Lakes & Mountains with Matt, we design bespoke outdoor experiences that help organisations invest in their greatest asset — their people.
Whether your goal is to improve staff wellbeing, strengthen team relationships, develop future leaders, reward employees or organise a memorable charity challenge, we’ll work with you to create an experience that’s tailored to your organisation.
Because when people step away from their desks, they often return with clearer minds, stronger relationships and fresh perspectives.
Step outside. Reset your team. Return stronger.
Today’s workplaces are evolving.
Hybrid working, increasing workloads and busy schedules mean many teams have fewer opportunities to genuinely connect.
Our outdoor experiences provide the time and space to slow down, have meaningful conversations and build stronger relationships in one of Britain’s most inspiring landscapes.
Research consistently shows that spending time in nature can:
In fact, research suggests that spending just two hours each week in nature is associated with significantly better health and psychological wellbeing.
This isn’t simply a day away from the office.
It’s an investment in your people.

Some of the best business conversations happen while walking.
Our Netwalking experiences provide a relaxed environment where professionals can connect, collaborate and build lasting relationships while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of the Lake District.
Ideal for:
Bring your team together while making a real difference.
We’ll design and lead bespoke fundraising walks and mountain challenges in support of your organisation’s chosen charity.
Whether it’s climbing an iconic Lake District peak, completing a long-distance challenge or organising a multi-day adventure, we’ll create a safe, memorable event that inspires your team while supporting a cause that matters.
Every organisation is different.
That’s why every experience we deliver is completely bespoke.
We’ll take time to understand your objectives, your people and what success looks like before creating an outdoor experience that delivers genuine value.
From planning and logistics to route selection and risk assessments, everything is taken care of, allowing you to focus on what matters most — your team.
“Our team worked remotely and, despite working together for months, many of us had never actually met in person. Spending the day walking together in the Lake District completely changed that. Conversations flowed naturally, barriers disappeared and we came away feeling like a genuine team rather than colleagues behind computer screens. We’d recommend it to any organisation looking to bring people together.”
Remote Team Manager
“Walking with Matt gave us something no meeting room ever could. As a team leader, it allowed my colleagues to see me in a different light, and it was lovely to get to know one another away from the office. We even solved a number of challenges we’d been discussing for weeks simply by talking while we walked. It was one of the most productive and enjoyable team meetings we’ve ever had.”
Department Manager
“I have had the privilege of taking 2 of my teams out and really couldn’t recommend the opportunity enough. We spend many hours focussing on how we can minimise accidents and incidents in the workplace and nowhere near enough time focussing on stress reduction and general well-being – both of which can significantly impact productivity. Matt’s team provide exactly this opportunity for time out to reflect, refresh and recharge batteries as well as helping to develop stronger team bonds at a time when many are still feeling isolated working from home – I would highly recommend!”
Operations Manager
“Today I went on a wellbeing walk with work in the Langdale Valley. It was great to spend the day with my team. The importance of looking after your well-being being can not be understated. Today provided a serene escape from day-to-day stresses, offering us a chance to connect with nature, breathe fresh air and admire stunning scenery. Being in such tranquil surroundings can help to promote mental clarity, reduce anxiety and improve overall well-being through the physical activity in a peaceful setting. I hope everyone who came feels rejuvenated, refreshed and enjoyed themselves”
