About Us

Mark and Kate moved to the Lake District in 2006 and spend most of the year here, with some of the winter months in a small village in the Spanish Costa Blanca mountains.

We were brought together through climbing and have been actively working in the outdoors for many years. We formed Mountain Journeys during 2009 to meet a growing demand for high quality and bespoke guided mountain activities.

We both hold Mountain Training qualifications as Mountain Leaders and Climbing Instructors and between us have over 60 years of mountain experience. – We also like to keep up to date with best practice methods. When we use other guides we ensure they too have the correct skill set and experience. This ensures all Mountain Journeys clients receive the very best attention, expertise and experience at all times. Both of us have an excellent knowledge of the Lake District and Costa Blanca mountains and can offer an insight into the mountain environment. We can likely answer most of your questions and will certainly try our best!

Alongside Mountain Journeys we operate Climb Scafell, specialising in guided walks, challenges and scrambles on Scafell and Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountains.

Winter months are spent taking clients on guided walks, climbing and multi-activity holidays in the Costa Blanca mountains where the climate is perfect for walking and climbing.
