2 Day Nav Course

I would highly recommend this 2 day navigation course for anyone who knows nothing or very little about navigation (like I did), or anyone that needs their skills refreshing. Matt Burt is an excellent instructor who has so much skills, knowledge and patience. Two very enjoyable days. Thank you to all at The Lake District Walker.

Thanks!

Hi there!

Just a quick line to say a big thanks to Matt for taking me up Scafell on Weds the 02nd November - I had a fantastic time and Matt was a superb guide.

I will definitely recommend you guys to anyone else heading up that way and will hopefully see you again myself at some point in the future
Thanks again!

Striding Edge 26.10.11

Hi Matt,
Just back safely to Suffolk after a fantastic few days in The Lakes and caught up with your write up of our Striding Edge Adventure! It was absolutely brilliant, highlight of my stay and everything I'd hoped for (although would have loved a clear view while scrambling!) You were very patient and encouraging and I know for a fact every one of us loved it!
Looking forward to the next time. Good luck to you all at TLDW for the rest of the season.
Thanks again,
Love from June x

Just a few words to thank Matt for a great day, his knowledge of the area and understanding of the weather conditions were excellent, which made for a windy but enjoyable day, i for one would recommend using TLDW any time and will book further walks to help with my training for Kili next year

Scafell Pike

Dear Sir/Madam,

We have just returned from a week in the Lake District and on Wednesday 12th October we had booked for a guided walk (climb) up Scafell Pike.

It was a very wet day and we arrived at the meet point 15 minutes early. Just after we arrived, our guide, a young man called Matt, arrived. We chatted while climbing into waterproofs and he told us that it was just the three of us today. We set off and had a really good walk up and back, although a bit wet!

What we wanted to say was a big 'thank you' to Matt who was a very friendly and knowledgable lad and as we have three boys of a similar age, had a lot in common to talk about. He was interested in us and us in him. He gave us good advice on the landscape and warned us (well, me really) when things were steep/rough/difficult, etc., offering a helping hand when needed. We made good time up the mountain and enjoyed a different route down. The scenery, when this could be seen through the misty rain, was spectacular and Matt continually pointed out things of interest.

We really, really enjoyed our day with Matt, so all due credit to him. In fact, if it hadn't been for him, we would have found it very difficult to get to the top and would probably still be there now as we would have had no idea where to start the descent!!

The Lake District Walker will be recommended to all our friends and in our opinion was excellent value for money. So, thank you and also again to Matt, for what was the highlight of our week!

Please pass on our best wishes to him and wish him good luck for his house move!

Kind regards,

Gill & Phil Voisey
