Thank you so very much for a wonderful day. Myself, Arieh and Solly enjoyed it so much and you were very kind, patient and attentive with us all. Thank you very much and our sincere thanks to Mark and Paddy whose company we all thoroughly enjoyed. We would recommend you highly and hope to see you again one day’.  9.4.17

***** “Highly dedicated and knowledgeable guides”
Mark is one of the most dedicated guides around and knows the mountains like no one else. Wether you're a seasoned rock climber or putting walking boots on for the first time, he will enthusiastically get out there with you and make sure you make the most of your stay, while being safe and environment-friendly.

***** “Fantastic two days”
I would like to express my gratitude for the two fantastic days we spent with Mountain journeys during our summer holiday in the lake district. The climbing and abseiling and gorge walk were well organised, safe and everyone in our group was able to take part and enjoy the experience. I will most definitely be booking with them again on our next trip. Thank you to Mark & Kate.

***** “Days out with Mountain Journeys”
Over the past few years we have spent many days out with Mark and Kate from Mountain Journeys. We have completed summer walks in the Lake District and Wales, winter walks, scrambling, navigation practice, ghyll scrambling and rock climbing. Mark is very experienced in his field and his knowledge of the Lakes and Wales is second to none. Mark provides exceptional instruction and has fantastic attention to detail when it comes to safety without this getting in the way of having a thoroughly exciting and enjoyable day out in the hills. Whether you are a beginner or have lots of experience there is always something you can learn from Mark as he is extremely passionate about the outdoors. Mark and Kate have a fantastic knowledge of the flora and fauna and provide an extremely professional service. You can be collected from your hotel on your day out and Mark will discuss with you what you want out of your day and where you want to go providing a truly bespoke service. We have been out with several guides over the years but once we met Mark and Kate we would not go anywhere else. The best experience we have ever had and have would recommend Mountain Journeys every time. Many thanks to you both.

***** “Awesome family scrambling experience”
I treated my two kids - in their 20s! - to 2 days of scrambling in the Lakes with Mountain Journeys.

The headline is that we had an awesome experience, and we will definitely be back for more!

Mark Eddy met us the evening before to cover a range of issues - not least safety, clothing & equipment, and to suss out our experience and ambitions for the two days that would follow. We completed a total of five great Grade 1 & 2 scrambles in fabulous scenery. Mark was tremendous company throughout. I am an experienced Mountain Leader and can also vouch for Mark as a first rate leader and guide.

***** “I will definitely be back for more Mountain Journeys”
I have spent a week in Spain and a couple of days in the Lake District with Mark (Mountain Journeys) as climbing instructor/guide in the last 4 months and I definitely plan to return to both locations to go climbing with them again. The experience is entirely flexible to what you want to focus on or achieve and Mark seems to know everything there is to know about how, where, what, when and why for climbing, canyoning, scrambling or even flora and other local attractions. I have also never had any doubt about my safety whilst climbing with Mark. On top of all this he is a great guy to hang out with and I now count Mark, Kate and Don as friends.

Hi Kate,  We really did enjoy this wonderful day together with you.
We talked about the activities the whole rest of today and will certainly remember it always.

***** “A day of climbing in Langdale”
I spent a day of climbing in Langdale with my guide Mark yesterday. We climbed 4 long routes which I really enjoyed. Mark as a guide was spot on I felt very safe even 50 meters high on the route. I can definitely recommend Mountain journeys if you are after adventure on your holidays in the Lakes. Once again thank you.

***** "Extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional"
Me and a mate wanted a challenging day out walking up Scafell Pike. We decided on using a guide and were extremely pleased that we chose Mountain Journeys. Kate is an extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional guide, we both throughly enjoyed the walk and this was mainly due to having Kate with us.
If anyone is debating whether to use this company, then stop hesitating!! We will definitely be using Kate again!
