Guided Hikes In The UK
Are you looking for your next adventure in the UK, but don’t know where to go? Want to climb Helvellyn, but unsure how to tackle Striding Edge? Or do you just want a fun day out being guided around the best places in the Lakes?
Hello, it's Tom here from Trekking Tom Experiences and I am a fully qualified and insured mountain leader. The UK is an amazing place to hike with so many mountains, hills and lakes to explore. But it can be a little overwhelming if you’re not familiar with the area or unsure about your navigational skills.
Hopefully that is where I can help. By using my local knowledge and experience I have handpicked some of the best routes that will challenge and inspire you for your next adventure. Leave the navigating to me and we’ll be safely breezing up mountains, sometimes a bit of scrambling and always admiring fabulous views.
Our Guided Walks In The Lakes
Here is a selection of our current guided group hikes that are available to book.
If you would like a bespoke guided hike for the day, these start at £140.

If you still need a bit more convincing to book your next adventure then let me try and sway you!
I'm not just here to drag you around the hike. I’m also here to help build your confidence with navigating the mountains, providing educational titbits about the area, but mainly for some fun banter and sharing my midget gems!
Anyone can join a hike, although I can provide smaller groups if you want something just for you and your friends or family. I put a huge focus on enjoyment, so will go at your pace, stop when you need a breather or just to take a photo and holding your hand for any technical parts (literally if you need it!).

Had such a mega day today up Helvellyn, unbelievable views! Tom was so good, he's so easy to talk to and clearly knew his stuff which made us all feel so confident on the ridges, especially when the wind picked up! Will 100% be booking up again and recommend Tom to every trekker I know :)

Thanks so much for today, | couldn't have asked for it to have gone any better! It was so nice to be led by someone so easy to talk to and so clearly experienced and knowledgeable. | thought I'd be no use having never climbed a mountain ever before but you straight away adapted to my pace and ability and encouraged me the whole way.

Superb day out with Tom up Striding Edge and Helvellyn and felt perfectly safe navigating the ridge under his guidance. Tom is a class guide with great banter and rather than being led up a mountain, it felt more like having an adventure with a friend.

Tom took me up Helvellyn, guided me throughout the whole experience with great knowledge, selecting the best possible routes. Went a really good pace that suited our group. He’s great company and filled us all with great confidence to enable us to have the best experience ever. Many thanks Tom, can’t wait for my next outing with you.
