About Walk, Camp, Climb
Our aim is to offer high quality climbing, walking, camping, navigation, survival skills and scrambling courses, based primarily in the English Lake District and Lancashire, but also operating in Scotland, North Wales and the Peak District. The core of all courses springs from our shared passion for the outdoors environment, and a desire to pass on the experience of our many years spent in it. From this starting point, we can tailor days out and courses to suit the needs of any given group, and can run corporate and team building events if required.
We also offer a top-end hill walking and wild camping experience in the English Lake District, with sleeping arrangements and all carrying of equipment done for you, with gourmet food also provided and cooked fresh in the camp. This will allow you to simply relax and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the mountains prior to climbing to England’s highest summit.
