Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Lake District adventuring to anyone looking for a fun activity with friends or family. We went abseiling with Jack and loved it. He was really chilled and friendly and great at talking you through everything or supporting you when needed. The place we did the abseil was beautiful too! Overall, we had a fantastic time!

Fantastic experience: We had an incredible experience with Lake District Adventuring who hosted our recent company walk. From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and exceptionally well organised. Highly recommend for any group looking for a memorable outdoor experience. Big thanks to Jack and his team.

Viktorija Pietina 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: We had a company walk in the Peak District with around 60 people, and Lake District Adventuring were fantastic! Jack and the team were super helpful, friendly, and supportive throughout. Everything ran smoothly, and the experience was a big success. Highly recommend - we’d definitely work with them again!

Jenette Sherlock 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: We booked the Ghyll scrambling at Church Beck and from the moment we arrived we had the best experience as a family. The whole 2hrs were fantastic, our instructor was brilliant. I would throughly recommend booking an adventure

Laura 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: This is the second time be have booked Ghyll scrambling with Jack. My eldest requested it for her 15th birthday whilst we were on holiday in the lakes. Safety is always paramount and Jack puts us all at ease before setting off, explaining the conditions and what to expect. Despite visiting the same venue the experience was completely different this time, again with plenty of variety. Jack’s pitch is perfect with both our children (8 & 15) and he got extra brownie points for bringing chocolates for the eldest birthday. Already looking to book another visit in the summer so our nephew can experience the adventure. One not to miss when in the lakes. 100% recommend 10/10 or as my 8 year old rated it one zillion out of 10

Fantastic experience: The Gorge scrambling at Stickle Barn was brilliant, great for beginners and families. Jack was a fantastic leader, he made it a lot of fun and guided us up the river, encouraging us all the way. Our 9 year old was a bit tentative but he took her under his wing and helped her confidence grow as we went along. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a different kind of adventure up the mountains. Cheers Jack, top man!

Judith Finney 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: My son and four grandsons had a brilliant time with Jack canyoning in Church Beck Coniston. One of my grandsons was nervous but Jack gave him the confidence to complete the course. I would definitely recommend this company.

Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience doing the Church Beck Scramble as a family, with Jack as our guide. The kids loved it – and so did we! It was the perfect level of challenge for our teenage daughters, exciting and adventurous, but we always felt completely safe. Jack was brilliant – encouraging, professional, and made sure we were all looked after. We couldn’t recommend it more highly. A brilliant family activity!

Claire Grant 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: My family and I had a fantastic morning of rock climbing with Jack. Jack was extremely encouraging, knowledgable and funny. Our group included two boys (14 and 12 yrs) and Jack was great at giving them plenty of instruction, challenges and the opportunity to have another go. We all felt extremely safe, especially as Jack is part of the local mountain rescue team (most reassuring). Thank you, Jack, for a wonderful morning of rock climbing!

Freya P 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my Blencathra and Sharp Edge hiking adventure with Jack. It was a memorable experience for all the right reasons. Lovely guy, he made me feel at ease on the scramble. Jack works for mountain rescue and clearly knows his stuff. He was happy to take me out for the right amount of time, whereas other guides wanted to charge me double for a slower version of the same walk. Friendly and helpful, he offered to give me advice in the future. Would highly recommend him for guided hikes, runs & climbing adventures. Thank you!

Jonathan Pollick 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Jack recommended we did the Church Beck canyoning rather than Stickle Barn as we were an adult group. We had a fantastic adrenaline filled time. So invigorating and Nathan was a fantastic instructor that put us at ease and guided us expertly. Had so much fun leaping into waterfall pools, traversing rocks and sliding down natural slides. Thanks again Jack and Nathan!

Lisa 9 months ago

Negative experience: Do not book a 3 peaks challenge with this company - they’ll mess you about refusing to commit to it going ahead, and then cancel it 16 days before the challenge (with no suggestion of doing other dates or anything, just ‘its not happening’) left me scrabbling around, super stressed, trying to find another company to go with last minute. I’d even made the guy aware weeks beforehand that I was doing this for charity and had committed to going in June.. again, the attitude was just ‘tough luck’ basically.

Hi Lisa.
Thank you for your review.
I am sorry about your concerns in regards to this outcome, I can understand your frustration; however, as I mentioned on the chats we had about this, I have had to make this difficult call, due to unforeseen circumstances that were out of my hands. At the time, as you well know, I weighed all my options always taking into account what could be more benefitial for you because my clients are very important to me. Unfortunately, I had to make a judgement call which I did not make lightly, that is why I provided you with a list of recommended companies that I can vouch for, as well as offering you a refund for the inconvenience.

I am very sorry that despite this, you are still unhappy with the outcome. I am open for us to discuss this further, if you wish.

Christopher Heap 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: An absolutely brilliant experience! We booked for a family of 4 (2 adults and kids aged 10 and 12) to go ghyll scrambling in Church Beck. We booked directly though the Adventuring website which was convenient and easy to do. Jack was our guide for the afternoon. He was fantastic, very knowledgeable and made us and more importantly, the kids feel at ease, The experience as a whole was just the best day out, without a doubt the most ‘organised fun’ we’ve had! The ghyll scrambling down the small waterfalls was more challenging than we expected and the jumps were the perfect level of fear while knowing you were in safe hands. Would totally recommend to anyone looking for a fun day out in the lakes!

Georgie Dawson 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing time abseiling with Jack! He was incredibly relaxed and calm in his instruction. His patience and clear guidance helped build confidence, we all enjoyed the session. Would definitely go again!

Claudia Orsini 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Jack was a superb guide! As our first big mountain walk, Jack helped us navigate up the mountain at our own pace and showing us a variety of routes to explore. Aside from being a great guide he also helped my partner pull off a great proposal, from calls before hand to bringing us to the top of Great End for a perfect photo finish. Thanks for all your help Jack and giving us a great day which we will remember forever!

Claire-Louise Chambers 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: What an amazing day with Jack! Give him a shout if you're in the Lakes. He made our experience, and with our 5 year old for his 1st time (now he's old enough!) such a brilliant one. From start to end we felt cared for, safe and able to have fun knowing we were in professional and good hands. So grateful to Jack for helping us make awesome memories for our family!!

Fantastic experience: Great day with Jack. Myself and my friend came in to the day with different levels of experience and Jack managed to pitch the course to suit us both. I refreshed my knowledge climbing on lead and building belays while my friend got to grips with the basics, I would recommend Jack to anyone keen to get out, climb and learn.

Chris Groves 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had a brilliant day climbing with Jake from Lake District Adventuring. He planned a day tailored to my ability, aspirations, and the famously unpredictable Lake District weather. Jake got me leading on local classics, including the iconic 'Little Chamonix,' which was a real highlight. His local knowledge and calm, supportive approach made the whole experience effortless and fun. Whether you’re after a guide, looking to improve your skills, or want to tackle some classic routes, I’d highly recommend Jake. .

Fantastic experience: Fantastic 3 days with James and Jack in the Langdales and Gyll scrambling in Coniston. 2 really experienced, knowledgeable (and fun!) guys with a passion for the Lakes and tailoring adventures around us (2 kids, 2 adults). 100% recommended and will be back next year!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic afternoon climbing a range of routes, with varying difficulties to cater for everyone’s needs. Our instructor (Nathan) provided support and reassurance for those that were nervous, and encouragement for those that were confident and adventurous.

Fantastic experience: Guided tour up scafell pike from seathwaite. Great day all round for my first mountain climb up a beautiful route. I was nervous about being slow but no need. Steve the guide was very patient, encouraging and great company. He explained how to tackle the scrambling, which I didn't have a clue about, and how to navigate more tricky declines. We went at my pace with plenty of stops to refule! Feeling very accomplished and had a fab day!

Simon Morris 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic morning Ghyll scrambling at Church Beck in Coniston. Nathan was great especially with the less confident kids and adults!! Was the best day for weather we had had all week but the water was still freezing first time in. Great experience and will definitely recommend to friends and family. Will be back.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Jack from "Lake District Adventuring" for contributing towards our trip up Scafell Pike. Our guide James was a wealth of information and made the trip into an amazing experience. From informing us of the weather forecast beforehand, to offering different routes up and down the summit, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. An excellent operation which we'll use again.

L B 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Outstanding! Unfortunately, Jack was unable to take us 11 ladies up Scarfell, however, he didn’t leave us stranded and arranged for David to take us. What can I say. From the moment we all met up in the ‘correct ‘car park, David was friendly, charming and probably a little nervous about how the day was going to go. Well we had got lost getting to the car park! With a large group of ladies with different experience levels, David always made sure everyone was ok (and not lost). Regular stops due to heat and group separation ensured a safe passage up to Scarfell pike. Every step of the way was full of knowledge on the area, fun facts and LOTS of laughter. Rather than going back down the way we came, he suggested a number of alternatives and we ended up heading across to Lingmell and back down to the car park. I know the others On the group will agree, but I genuinely had the best weekend navigating the unbelievably breathtaking views of the Lakes. Having such an incredible guide/leader just topped it off. It would not have been the same!! Thank you so much David (and jack)!!! Definitely will be back soon!!!

Fantastic experience: Had an absolutely awesome time with Jack at church beck, ghyll scrambling. Our third time of meeting Jack and his team. Last year we climbed helvellyn and did some abseiling. He is kind and patient, especially when my two teens were speeding along and I was lagging behind. He gave me the confidence to do the jumps and I came away feeling very proud of myself for overcoming some fears. As always my boys and husband loved his friendly style. We will definitely be booking again. Thanks Jack! See you next time.

Gemma Willder 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We used Lake District Adventuring for a group of 10 ladies walking Scafell Pike. Jack was very helpful before the walk and provided us with a very experienced and professional mountain guide called David. He was beyond excellent and was a real support to all of our group. We also met Tony, who is also your guide and was lovely and so professional. It was the best choice to get a guide and for us all to be able to enjoy the walk knowing someone was there to step in if we needed it (which David did on several occasions!). He was also our cameraman for the day and got us some excellent shots! I would 100% use them again and would absolutely recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I’ve spent a lot of time in the Lakes. Jack took myself and my two nieces climbing up Jack’s Rake. Best guide I’ve come across. Engaging, passionate, fun and very knowledge and it was my nieces’ favourite adventure to date. Really cool seeing them grow and come alive with Jack’s way of working. He also holds a winter record or two in the lakes for his feel running so you’re in good hands

Ian crook 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Jack, James and Steve were absolutely first class. On what could have been a complete wash out due to atrocious weather, the lads did an outstanding job of motivating, keeping us together and leading us to achieve what is undoubtedly the best we could have done under the circumstances. Their knowledge, experience and instinctive decision making was second to none and at no point did we feel in danger or vulnerable despite some pretty dreadful conditions. They were calm, patient and came across as three very impressive individuals. Brilliant day.

Michael Howard 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Gruelling and exhausting 10 hour charity walk but, super rewarding and expertly guided by Jack and his team. The weather was horrendous with -10, ice and 60 mph wind. We were able to adapt (be dynamic as Jack likes to use), stay safe but still challenge ourselves with 2.3km of ascent over the 10 hours. Look no further if you need an expert guide for your time in the Lakes.

Lindsay Wright 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Experience the Lake District in a whole new way with Jack and the team at Lake District Adventuring. I've been canyoning and Ghyll Scrambling with them and both experiences have been nothing but brilliant. We're already looking at how to book a third adventure. On my last adventure I brought my 10 year old, who enjoyed the experience so much. Jack was brilliant and encouraging them, whilst respecting their boundaries if they felt scared leaving my child with confidence and feeling safe. Cannot recommend them enough.

Nigel Whatley 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant day out with the family, absolutely fantastic experience. We did rock climbing in the morning and abseiling in the afternoon. Olly tailored it to our individual levels and was a fabulous instructor (with a lot of knowledge about the local geography). Highly recommend.

Daron K 2 years ago

Negative experience: *UPDATE: Refund has been processed. Thanks Jack.* We were in the lake district for a week in August with the family. We booked and paid for rock climbing for myself and two sons with Jack from Lake District Adventuring. Unfortunately on the evening before the scheduled booking Jack messaged to say he had double booked us and needed to cancel. We should get a cancellation confirmation and full refund. As you can imagine, this was a huge disappointment and left us scrambling around trying to find some alternative to do but equally exciting for the boys. It wasn't easy at such short notice, everyone was booked out as it was height of summer holidays.

Joshua Hall 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: A faultless and absolutely perfect experience! I booked for my husband and I to go Eskdale ghyll scrambling for his 30th birthday. I booked directly though the Adventuring website which was super convenient and easy to do. Jack was out with another group so we had Pete as our guide. Pete was fantastic, very knowledgeable and made us feel at ease. Plus we had a lovely chat long the way and he was a cracking photographer with all the best spots for a photo opp. The experience as a whole was just the best day out, without a doubt the most ‘organised fun’ we’ve had! The ghyll scrambling up the small waterfalls was more challenging than we expected and the jumps were the perfect level of fear while knowing you were in safe hands. Would totally recommend to anyone looking for a fun day out in the lakes! We’re hoping to book in for another adventure soon!

Olivia S 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been on quite a few outdoor excursions but nothing like what was being offered here! Jack made sure we all stayed safe and had fun, brilliant at what he does. Whatever it is you do with him you'll be in safe hands! Myself and my family did abseiling and Ghyll scrambling, and both activities were a treat for an adrenaline seeker like me, and for my mother who has mobility issues. It is perfect for pretty much anyone! Jack runs his activities wonderfully, and I can't wait for my next chance to go thrill seeking under his care! Words from my mother: We went Ghyll scrambling in Church Beck with Jack. My mobility is not the best but Jack was adamant I could do it safely and he was right. He looked after myself and my family beautifully and we had an amazing experience (my first time). Thank you Jack will recommend you to anyone- what an experience!!!! A memory maker.

He was transparent with the challenge ahead and gave us great confidence that we could successfully complete the challenge in an awesome time. The trip was smooth and organised well, Jack’s experience and knowledge help set us to complete the challenge in 22 hours and 5 minutes. The trip was postponed from 2020 due to COVID restrictions but Jack has always been happy to keep in touch and adjust the booking to suit our group. I couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Had the BEST time abseiling with Jack. He is great at putting you at ease and knows what he is doing. I was terrified of doing the abseil and was full sure I would back out but he was very calming and helped me overcome my fears and I couldn't be more grateful. It's the best feeling after you've done it! So much fun and in a really cool location. If you are unsure what to do in the Lakes do this! Thanks Jack for such a fun afternoon PS we mistakenly went to the wrong place and Jack allowed us to swap to a different session with no fuss which was really appreciated.

Fantastic experience: We went gorge scrambling yesterday morning at church beck, and I couldn’t recommend the activity and jack highly enough! Incredibly professional, chatty and immediately made us feel at ease. He was very encouraging and helpful during moments where we felt less confident, was accommodating and made the experience really fun. I thought this might have been an easy going trip but oh my the jumps were something else - a great experience and would encourage anyone looking to do something a little different to try it! We went past a few groups doing similar things and I can say with confidence that we were so pleased to have Jack as our guide! We also went abseiling with Jack this morning, both my partner and I are scared of heights but Jack made us feel so at ease and supported (and is also a great laugh!) that we ended up doing the bigger abseil twice - surprising both of us that we even made it up there to start with. The views are also amazing and is just an all round great trip!! We will definitely be booking to come back to the lakes for a holiday later this year and will 100% be booking in more activities with Lake District Adventuring!

Fantastic experience: Today we tried Gorge Scrambling... Our guide Jack is the epitomy of let's stay safe, have the best time possible and try some boundary testing jumps and slides BUT, if that's not 100% in your ability, let's quickly Segway into an equally cool alternative to keep your pride intact. It was raining a little and it was somewhat chilly. Before you knew it we were putting on wet suits to get into a cold ravine but none of it phased us because Jack and his team are very positive and it sticks quick. We have absaeling tomorrow and while we're optimistically nervous, meeting the team has definitely made us more positive about taking on something new. If your in the lake district, save some time just to branch out for a morning/ afternoon for something different.

Fantastic experience: Myself, sister and Dad had a fantastic morning adventure at Church Beck. Once we were suited a booted, we had our safety briefing and headed for the water. This was all great fun, and we had beautiful weather which was very lucky! When we met our first jumping area, it was nerve wracking and I froze but Jack was incredibly patient and encouraging and we all completed the challenge. There was so much laughter and fun, the whole experience was hugely enjoyable. Would definitely do it again and recommend to all! Thank-you Jack for an awesome day

Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience abseiling with Jack. I never thought at nearly 50 I'd be abseiling down a quarry but what an adrenalin rush! I couldnt have wished for a beter instructor, Jack was so patient and made me feel at ease. I can't wait to go ghyll scrambling!
