Kinder Scout

Kinder Scout - Western Edge

Client testimonial - Mark, Liverpool

“A great walk in the Peak District with mountain guide Andy a leisurely walk at my pace and capability. Strong footwear and weather proof clothing lunch and a drink was all I needed. Andy was very knowledgeable and made my trip most enjoyable, full of useful information and happy to answer any questions I had about the wildlife and geological terrain. Most importantly, we walked at my pace. Can’t wait to go again maybe the lakes or Snowdonia next time. Five star day out!”
