Hi I’m Chris Edwards

Founder of GuideMyWalk and Lead Guide on all of the walks I offer.

I’m a qualified Mountain Leader and I am passionate about providing safe, enjoyable, rewarding and memorable experiences. Harnessing my values of responsibility and selflessness, I build confidence within the entire walking team to ensure we pull together in the same direction to achieve rewarding and successful outcomes.

Now more than ever, it is important that we explore and appreciate the one haven we have throughout these uncertain times, the great outdoors. I’m a huge believer of the benefits that physical activity outdoors can bring to both mental and physical well-being.

Take this opportunity to experience the beautiful and unique surroundings we have on our doorstep and embark on your new world of outdoor adventure!

Discover the beauty of Staffordshire, Shropshire and the UK mountains by foot!

The beautiful Staffordshire moorlands and the Shropshire hills are world-famous - my guided walks will take you to some of the most magnificent spots that I have discovered after many years of exploring these wonderful hills in my own backyard. 

I am based on the Staffordshire/Shropshire border and offer a range of guided walks in both counties. I run a calendar of prescribed local walks around Staffordshire and Shropshire for all abilities.

In addition to my prescribed local walks I offer bespoke guided walks throughout the full range of UK hills, mountains and National Trails including the mountains of Wales, The Lake District and Scotland for those that like to get out on the bigger mountains of the UK.

Join me on my guided walks that offer fresh air, exercise, good company, and plenty of smiles along the way – as well as some of the best cafes in England and Wales of course!

Many of the prescribed walks I offer are themed, providing an additional dimension to your walk and something of interest or challenge for all! Hill walking is very special to me, it has been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember and I am excited to be able to share it with you through my range of guided walks. 

I also offer coaching and training as an introduction to navigation and for those looking to improve their navigation skills. In addition, if you are planning to undertake a walking challenge in the UK or abroad (e.g. for charity), then I can provide training, coaching and mentoring to help you prepare and maximise the prospect of an enjoyable and successful outcome.

Let’s work together…

I’m a true believer of the benefits that physical activity outdoors can bring to both mental and physical well-being.

Therefore I’d like to take this opportunity to highlight the unique and bespoke services I can offer to businesses, schools and charities to support individuals, teams and students in experiencing the beautiful and unique surroundings we have on our doorstep and enjoy a new world of outdoor adventure!

Covid-19 Update

Like so many people just now, I remain optimistic that with the UK government’s roll out of the Covid vaccination programme, we will begin to see a change in restrictions on travel and social interaction.

So rather than attempting to second guess what changes in restrictions are likely to be, or to describe every possible scenario for continuing to work with clients here, suffice to say I will continue to operate strictly in adherence with whatever the current restrictions of the day are at any given time/date.

I’ve worked hard to achieve participant status through Visit England’s ‘We’re Good To Go’ scheme, and would like to reassure you that your physical and psychological health and well being will always be my number one priority.

I would ask therefore that you continue to monitor current restrictions on movement and social interaction and to consider their impact on the activities I offer and whether you feel it will be feasible to achieve the experience you’re considering safely within those guidelines/restrictions.

If you believe we can work safely together then please contact me via email at chris@guidemywalk.com to discuss your considerations.

Please don’t be too concerned if you do make a booking that transpires to be non-feasible because of current restrictions, I will refund you in full in such circumstances, but please do check first for your own convenience.

I am taking every course of action to ensure all guided walks, navigation training and private guiding experiences adhere to social distancing requirements, and I have made amendments to my recommended kit list.
