My Son, Simon and I had a great full days Kayaking with Iain on Derwent Water last week. It did rain most of the day but that didn't spoil a really lovely day.
We ventured into the River Derwent and spent the morning exploring the river and after lunch we explored some of the islands.
Iain is a great guy and super experienced Kayaker who was able to teach us some very useful skills.
We will be doing this again next spring.

My son and myself spent three days with Iain in the hills walking and expanding our limited navigation skills. Iain is clearly an experienced guide and tutor and tailored our time with him perfectly. As someone who had previously used a navigation app on my phone first and a map and compass second, I would now have the confidence to use the app for emergencies only. The knowledge Iain was able to pass on to us in a practical setting was immense. If you are looking to improve your knowledge and skills then I cannot rate Iain highly enough.

Excellent couple of days with Iain on a private 2 day navigation course. If you want to improve your nav skills, feel safer and more confident in the hills then do not look any further 👍

We attended a navigation course with Iain yesterday.
The whole day was superb and we have both gained lots of new skills which will allow us to venture onto the hills safely and with confidence.
Iain was a patient instructor happy to repeat instructions until we both felt confident .He moved the day on at a pace that we both felt comfortable with.
Thank you Iain a great experience all round

This was the first time booking with Iain and I doubt it will be the last. We loved how much equipment he provided to make sure we where safe and comfortable, complimented with is local knowledge about the activity and natural environment we where scrambling through. This made for a truly memorable day that brought together friends and family to cement a moment we'll cherish. Thanks for being and making this wonderful. We will see you soon for sure!

A fantastic day of rock climbing and ghyll scrambling, made so under the careful guidance and expert support provided by Iain. Such a quality day out, for two active children aged 12 and 14 and their mum who struggles to keep up!!
Unlike other providers, we had Iain’s professional guidance all to ourselves, safety was paramount and Iain was quick to work out each of our strengths and abilities. I really appreciated the walking boots provided for the ghyll scrambling. Looking forward to further days out Iain, thank you so much for the opportunity to try something new and for some great memories.

Thanks so much for our extreme Gorge walking/Canyoning experience for my 2 boys and I.
The scenery was truly beautiful, like paradise. We have never seen (or been in) so many waterfalls! You gave us the courage to try things we wouldn’t normally dare to, and made it fun and exciting. You were very knowledgeable and very patient with us. Highly recommended day out, well worth the money. Thank you :)

Had an absolutely incredible day climbing and getting an introduction to lead/trad climbing with Iain at upper scout crag, beautiful spot and some great routes. Iain is a great teacher and very comfortable on the rock which helped me feel more at ease through some of the more scary bits. I would definitely book with Iain again if/when I go back for more climbing.

What an amazing experience gorge walking with Iain. We were a family of four and Iain was fab with the children - very encouraging and patient. By the end of the session we were jumping off rocks into the water 😄. Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone!
