Kendal Mountaineering Services

Activities, adventures and training of all kinds in the English Lakes

Kendal Mountaineering Services tailor their many activities to what you want - a unique selling point in this field.

But the point is that the level of challenge (and risk - controlled risk of course; these guys are experts, so it might be better to say "difficulty") is exactly what you want it to be. The company is based in Kendal on the edge of the Lake District National Park, and much of what they do takes place in the area.

They also take people to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, The Peak District, North Wales, Scotland - and, once again, it's you who decides where you go and what you do to enjoy yourselves. Make no mistake, the sense of adventure and challenge (and the incredible feeling of achievement afterwards) is profound....you can stretch yourself like you've never been stretched, or you can try things you never thought you'd be confident enough to do.
