I’ve been leading groups in the fells and mountains of the world for over 35 years and have amassed a very deep understanding of the outdoor environment and the knowledge and skills required to travel through it efficiently and safely on foot. I’m also appropriately qualified and insured. I occasionally also employ fellow guides that i know personally.
Navigation
I offer tuition and coaching at all levels from beginner to expert and in group sizes from 1:1 to 1:4. Navigation unlocks the outdoors and is a lifelong skill that improves confidence and competence in the hills and mountains.
Guided Walks and Longer Journeys
I offer guided walks ranging in duration from one day or a weekend through to multi-day guided backpacking journeys. These are mostly delivered in the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales or the Lake District – accessible upland areas that i know very well. They can be 1:1 walks, family groups, celebration walks or corporate events. Longer multi-day journeys are most often along existing National Trails and can utilise accommodation options to suit the client.
Focused Preparatory Training
Spending time and money with a professional to become truly confident and competent in the mountains unlocks a world of adventure. A lifetime of amazing walking and trekking routes are out there waiting for you – and you really can be your own guide on most of them once you have the skills and knowledge. If you aspire to one day walk the Pennine Way, hike the Tour du Mont Blanc or trek to Everest Base Camp then let’s get it done. I can work with you to provide focused specific skills training, knowledge exchange, equipment advice and route guidance.
If you still want a guide then i can facilitate that and arrange in-country services anywhere in the world.
Media Services
As well as regularly featuring on TV and radio and in digital and printed media, i often work to assist with the planning of TV programmes and other media events. Please contact me if i can be of help.
Booking
I work with clients to provide not just a truly memorable outdoor experience but make sure all the details from transport to equipment are attended to. Dates are of the clients choosing be that a day walk, a long weekend of adventure or a full week of walking. In the first instance please drop me an email (tpltravelled@gmail.com) and together we can bring your ideas to the hills and fells. Thank you 🥾.
