We had a fantastic afternoon with Mark! We booked 1:2 tuition for my daughter and I on a cloudy but pleasant day. We had a brisk walk to the site,... read more and chatted on the route (about a ten minute walk from the car park). Once we got to the rock, he explained more about what we’d be doing and then went to set up.
We took the opportunity to admire the views, which are stunning! We watched the cloud enshroud the tops of the hills.
When he returned we had a go at climbing the different routes; Mark gave us enough leeway to figure out routes ourselves and sometimes offer some help from below.
At the end of our session he showed us how the ropes where secured to the rock and we talked about a few different types of knots. All too soon it was time to return to the car park.

In all, it was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. Much fun was had!

Thank you, Mark, for a brilliant session!

  Another fantastic trip! - This was our fourth time with Mountain Journeys, and we all had yet another fantastic trip! We booked 3 excursions in total; a family gorge scramble, a family climbing day,... read more and a 1-1 climbing session for myself. The weather was a little unpredictable during our stay, and Mark was great in making some alterations to his schedule to work around this. As always, he was awesome with the kids and made an effort to keep them safe, yet allow them the freedom to have as much fun as possible. The 1-1 climbing session was about as perfect as it get; fun climbs, mind-blowing views, and we had the crag to ourselves! If you're in or around the lakes, I would thoroughly recommend booking an excursion with Mark at Mountain Journeys.

  Great activity to do when visiting the lakes - Had a great time going up Stickle Ghyll with Mark. Everything was well explained and you always felt safe. Climbing the waterfalls was so fun and something I will be... read more doing again in future.
