How a day works

Simple to arrange

  1. Tell me what you're after

    Dates, numbers, the area or route you have in mind, and anything I should know about fitness or access.

  2. I plan the day

    A route that fits the group, a meeting point, a kit list and a weather call the evening before.

  3. We walk

    I carry the group safety kit and watch the clock, which leaves you free to look up at the hills.

About

Guided by Tom Deakin

Project manager by trade, Mountain Leader by qualification, and a walker who learned the hard way that the best part of the day is often the quiet valley on the way to the top.
