Good times today in Glenridding Beck with Tim Squire Dawson, family & friends 😃

This fantastic venue - the only really accessible Ghyll Scrambling location in the Ullswater Valley, definitely delivers the goods 🤲 Two separate sections each with their own particular challenges - deep pools, waterfalls to climb, tricky sections to negotiate, but this venue delivers fun, fun, fun all along the way 😆😆

And at the end - a super deep pool with four different ways to get some air-time and adrenalin as you leap into space and take the plunge 😃😱👌

If you are staying in the Ullswater Valley and fancy trying out this bucket list activity, then do give us a call at Lakes Outdoor Experience to arrange your session - you won't be disappointed 😉 It's great for all ages - families, friends, Stag & Hen groups and children all Ghyll Scrambling ❤️

Enjoying an Esk Gorge Day today with Emily & Oscar from Basingstoke who've been in the area having an adventurous week in the mountains.

Today was just as adventurous, but in a different way - The Esk was pretty big after the rain of the last 24 hours and the weather was mixed. The pair gave it their best shot though 🙌👏👌

And that's it for us. Summer officially ends today and tomorrow, as we move in to Autumn; we'll be off for a few weeks for a well earned break 🤗

We'd like to thank all of you wonderful people who have come to us for your adventures this year so far. The adventure season is by no means over, so if there's an activity you'd like to do, skills you would like to learn; or an adventure you'd like to have - dont hesitate to get in touch 👍

See you soon 😃

Many thanks and best regards.

Iain and the Lakea Outdoor Experience Team 😊

Well, its been great to be back to Lake District Adventuring today with Gemma Jones & family 😃 Its been a couple of weeks since we've been getting wet as last week, we were leading guided walks in Scotland helping people to "bag" those Munros ⛰️⛰️

Sat in the shade whilst waiting for the next clients to turn up at Lower Scout Crag today.

As the climate crisis deepens, we should all realise just how important trees are to us all - for shade, for biodiversity, for moisture conservation, for life 🤷‍♀️

Folks; we need to stop messing about and stop denying climate change is a thing - its here, its real, we are now clearly seeing its effects and feeling the change in our weather!

And trees 🌳, we need to preserve, respect, revere them. We need to put the forests back now! Remember, the uk was once forested from top to bottom and The Lake District valleys - wooded up to a height of 1700 feet!🌳❤️🌳❤️🌳❤️🌳❤️🌳❤️🌳❤️🌳❤️🌳❤️🌳❤️🌳
