Private Guiding

Your new world - within walking distance

I offer a private guiding service for walks anywhere in the UK. I’m based on the Staffordshire/Shropshire border and run guided walks in both counties on a regular basis. I am also very happy to travel to the mountains of the Lake District, the Peak District, Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons for mid-week and weekend trips and even up to Scotland for the more adventurous.

I also offer private guiding to individuals or groups from start to finish on any of the UK’s long distance national trails. I will work with you and your group to design bespoke itineraries that reflect your ambition, capability, availability and budget. 

I’ve delivered multi-day trail experiences to groups on the following national trails – West Highland Way, Cotswolds Way, Cleveland Way, Yorkshire Wolds Way, Hadrian’s Wall, South Downs Way and even the route of the Bob Graham Round in the Lake District.

If you’re planning to take on a walking/endurance challenge event anywhere in the UK or abroad then you’re in good hands. I’ve successfully completed challenges at home and abroad, so you can draw on my experience to help guide you to your own success. Any of my guided walks can be adapted to support your physical preparation and to improve your navigation or we can negotiate terms and together we can devise bespoke plans as part of my private guiding offer to suit your requirements.

I can offer both practical guidance as well as coaching and mentoring support to help with your psychological preparation for such events. 

A private guiding experience has several advantages including:

• I can tailor routes to your ability, fitness and aspirations.

• I take care of your safety – I am a qualified Mountain Leader and outdoor First Aider with requisite qualifications, experience, insurance and Enhanced DBS vetting.

• You can book me by the day to take you off the beaten track or on classic days.

• My costs are always negotiable and can be spread between you and your friends/family/group – I can cater for groups of up to 12 people in lowland environments (up to 500m above sea level) and up to 8 people in upland environments (more than 500m above sea level). **Subject to current Covid-19 restrictions and any necessary adaptations - refer to current position on my home page**.
