Lake District Mountaineering specialise in delivering instructional days, skills courses and guided services in all aspects of climbing & mountaineering throughout the Lake District National Park and the Scottish Highlands.
LDM are an independent, mobile operation that consists of a small team of mountain professionals, allowing us to deliver high quality, small ratio courses throughout the National Park.
Our LDM team are highly experienced, qualified, passionate and knowledgeable within the sports we offer.
We are continually committed to delivering high quality skills courses, guided experiences and mountain adventures that focus on YOU.
Here at Lake District Mountaineering, we pride ourselves on delivering high quality and customer focussed skills courses, instructional days and experiences.
We hope to provide experiences to last a lifetime, inspire you in amazing environments and teach you the skills to become independent to enjoy the beautiful natural spaces we have to offer in the Lake District.
Most of your adventures will be run and guided by Sam Marsland (WMCI). When this is not possible, we work closely with a small, hand selected group of outdoor professionals - this means we can draw upon the first-rate experience and knowledge of our team to guarantee a memorable experience. All of our associate instructors are qualified, experienced, insured and first aid trained.
All of our chosen activity venues and locations have been carefully selected using local knowledge and this means we can tailor courses and experiences to meet the needs and expectations of all of our customers, allowing us to offer a first-rate experience. Our ratios are small, allowing us to provide maximum contact time with your instructor.
LDM is proud to be a member of and affiliated with professional organisations such as the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI) and the Mountain Training (MTA).
