Adventuring was a fantastic guide and was helpful with getting my kids organised and teaching them about the harness and wet suit as this was the first time they had worn anything like that. He knew lots about the local area and we really enjoyed learning about some trees and cool things around. The ghyll was fantastic - difficult enough to be enjoyable for all levels and push yourself. Would highly recommend! Les took photos throughout the activity too which was a great touch!
Canyoning, Coniston
Jack is an all-round brilliant human and mountain leader. He was fantastic with my 13 year old daughter who has ADHD and loves climbing. It was her first outdoor climb and he made the experience so memorable. She loved it and was buzzing for days afterwards. Jack is extremely knowledgeable, very safety oriented and knows how to get the best out of people and push them to achieve in the right way. Highly recommended - we will definitely be back!
