I started walking with The Lake District Walker in June 2017. Having now undertaken a total of 12 walks with them, I can honestly say all have been great walking experiences.
I've been guided by Mark, Rachel, Neil, Paul and John all of whom have been professional, friendly and knowledgeable. On every walk, I have felt in very capable hands, particularly when the clouds have descended, the winds are blowing at 40 mph plus and the rain was lashing down.
I've recently discovered the joys of proper winter walking using crampons and an ice axe, scrambling through knee deep snow and being buffeted by icy winds only made getting to the top of Coniston Old Man more of an enjoyable challenge.
I have met some engaging fellow walkers, as part of the groups - really diverse in life and walking experiences, and good company too. It has been interesting how many of them are repeat bookers with TLDW.
John and his team are excellent organisers and TLDW offers a great way to experience some of the best walking in the Lake District. One of my tasks over the Christmas break is to plan my TLDW schedule for 2018 - I've already bagged a place on the 24 Peak Challenge in May.
Wishing John and TLDW team a very Happy Christmas.
