That famous zigzag path on Sail! I’ve walked it p That famous zigzag path on Sail!

I’ve walked it plenty of times, but always DOWN, never up!

It looks like a completely different challenge from below.

Have you been UP it or DOWN it?

What a cracking day in the Eastern Fells! ⛰️ 10 m What a cracking day in the Eastern Fells! ⛰️

10 miles, 1,046m of ascent and 7 summits, finishing on Kidsty Pike.

Cold, sunny and with stags roaring in the valleys — absolutely brilliant day out with a great group. Well done everyone! 🥾🏔️

There was a bit of unwanted cloud, but the sun rising over the North Yorkshire Moors was absolutely incredible.

After watching the sunrise, we hiked over to Captain Cook’s Monument before returning to Roseberry Topping, finishing the morning with a full breakfast at the King’s Head Inn.

Definitely worth getting up for!

Are you a sunrise hiker, or do you prefer to be tucked up in bed?

The side of Ben Nevis most people never see… This The side of Ben Nevis most people never see…

This is the North Face of Ben Nevis, photographed from the CMD Arête.

Most people who climb Ben Nevis experience the mountain from the Mountain Track, but head round to the north and you see a completely different beast.

Huge cliffs, dramatic ridges, deep gullies and some seriously wild mountain terrain. Add a little cloud swirling around the tops and it feels like you’ve suddenly stepped into another world.

And honestly, I think this has to be one of the most epic mountain views in the UK.

The CMD Arête gives you a front row seat to it all, with the North Face towering beside you as you make your way towards the summit of Ben Nevis.

But I want to know…

Have you ever seen Ben Nevis from this side?

WOW! The Coledale Horseshoe was amazing yesterday! WOW! The Coledale Horseshoe was amazing yesterday! What a day! 

Probably one of the best horseshoes in the Lakes, and we had absolutely perfect conditions. Lovely sunshine, blue skies and some incredible views all the way around the valley.

Massive well done to Morag, Tracey, Fran and Eleanor on completing this challenging hike. You all did brilliantly, and what a day to take on the Coledale Horseshoe!

Kirsty and Claire joined us for the first half of the route, before deciding to drop down and follow Coledale Beck out of the valley and back to Braithwaite.

Sometimes knowing when to make that decision is just as important as reaching the summit, and they still enjoyed a fantastic morning in the mountains.

Another brilliant day out with a fantastic group of hikers.

Blue skies, big views and plenty of smiles, what more could you ask for?

🏔️ Ben Nevis via the CMD Arête Last Wednesday, it 🏔️ Ben Nevis via the CMD Arête

Last Wednesday, it was time to take on Ben Nevis, but not by the usual route!

The start was definitely boggy once we left the forest behind. Wet, squelchy and muddy underfoot, and the descent was just as much fun! 

But we weren’t in any rush. It was all about enjoying the day, taking our time and making the most of the route.

The CMD Arête is where the real fun begins!
The ridge is great, with plenty of hands on sections, a bit of exposure and, of course, some absolutely amazing views.

The view across to the North Face of Ben Nevis is simply ace. Standing on the CMD Arête with that huge wall of mountain rising across the valley is pretty special.

It really gives you a completely different perspective of Ben Nevis and makes all that boggy walking worthwhile!

A brilliant day with @abigailshikingadventures 

Fantastic ridge, incredible views and plenty of mountain adventure. You can’t ask for much more than that!

And a special mention to our European Mud Wrestling Champion… she certainly knows how to embrace the Scottish weather! Absolutely brilliant effort today!

It’s a completely different perspective from the usual view people see when they reach the summit.

Have you seen this view?

A very special Ben Nevis birthday challenge Today A very special Ben Nevis birthday challenge

Today I had the absolute privilege of taking Nicola and her friends up Ben Nevis for her 40th birthday.

But this wasn’t just another hike.

Nicola and Ann first became connected when Nicola saw a Facebook appeal and made the incredible decision to donate her kidney to Ann.

Two complete strangers became great friends.

Today, against the odds, they stood together on the summit of Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain at 1,345m, surrounded by their friends.

And what makes the story even more special is that they were doing it to raise awareness of altruistic kidney donation and raise money for Give a Kidney.

Some of Nicola’s friends had never hiked before, yet they dug deep, supported each other and kept going until they reached the summit.

As a guide, days like today are incredibly rewarding. Watching people achieve something they perhaps never believed they could do, and knowing there is such an amazing story behind it, makes it even more special.

I honestly couldn’t be prouder of Nicola, Ann and every single one of their friends.

So far, they have raised over £500 for Give a Kidney, helping to raise awareness of altruistic kidney donation and the difference it can make to someone’s life.

If you would like to support this amazing cause, you can donate here:

https://www.justgiving.com/page/nicola-hinds-ben-nevis24092026?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

Huge thanks to everyone involved today.

A very special day, an incredible achievement and a story I won’t forget.

Happy 40th birthday, Nicola. What a way to celebrate.
Helvellyn Summit From the summit of Helvellyn, lo Helvellyn Summit

From the summit of Helvellyn, looking down over Red Tarn, across Ullswater.

It’s hard to believe places like this are right here in the UK.

And no matter how many times I see it, it still gives me that feeling.

Who’s walked Helvellyn and seen this view?

Wake up to dreamy mountain views, spend the day surrounded by some of Scotland’s most beautiful scenery, then watch the light fade as the campfire comes alive.

No rush.
No plans.
Just the van, the river, the mountains and a perfect evening in Glencoe.

Sometimes, you really don’t need much more than this.

Striding Edge I’ve lost count of the number of ti Striding Edge

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve crossed it, and I never get tired of it.

But these days, one of the best parts is helping other people experience it for themselves. Seeing someone take on Striding Edge, overcome their nerves and realise what they’re capable of gives me a huge amount of satisfaction.

It’s a pretty special place to call your office.

The whole group did fantastic on the edges, tackling Striding Edge with confidence and enjoying every step of the adventure. There were some amazing views along the way, plenty of laughs and a great atmosphere from start to finish.

A huge thank you to Victoria, Nicola, Kim, Talia & Dayna for being such a brilliant group and making today so enjoyable.

What a way to spend my birthday weekend, doing what I love, in the mountains, with a fantastic group of people.

Thanks for an unforgettable day!
