I joined this group this year after previously being in a few other walking groups. They didn’t go as expected so I didn’t have many expectations. However I was totally wrong. The walks from this group are well led & cater for all abilities. I feel safe with the leaders & it has helped to build my confidence even to the extent that I can do smaller ones on my own. I have made friends within the group & always feel welcome. Joining this group was the best thing I have ever done

“This is such a fantastic group and very welcoming.

I am proud of my achievements this year, and it’s all down to the encouragement and support received from Matt and the team.

If you are thinking of joining, do it, you won’t regret it!

I became a member in January 2024 as a complete beginner to hiking. The membership option was great, this allowed me to join any of the scheduled walks without extra cost! Matt and the team are incredibly
knowledgeable and supportive, throughout the year I have gone from
complete beginner to joining some of the more challenging hikes offered
including Striding Edge on Helvellyn and Sharp Edge on Blencathra!

The support and encouragement I have received from Matt and the team has helped me achieve more than I ever dreamed of. I’m not the youngest and certainly not the fittest, but all are welcomed and supported. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a great group to be part of!

Having lived on the fringe of the Lakes all my life, I thought it was time to see more than the tourist routes. Joining Matt, and his team of leaders, has taken me to Lakes and Mountains previously only see from the road. Each walk, Matt gives us knowledge about the landscape, and surrounding area, and a chance to practice our newly learnt map reading skills.

Thanks to Matt I now look at Mountains differently, and look forward to renewing my Membership in 2025, and bag more Wainwrights.
