      Brilliant experience
      First time doing anything like this and it took us well out of our comfort zone! It was challenging and rewarding and we each felt a huge sense of accomplishment at the end. There were 6 in our group with ages ranging between 8 and 50. We can't wait to book our next adventure.

      Brilliant
      Our instructor, Woody, was brilliant. Really enjoyed the full experience. Coached confidently throughout the day. Would definitely recommend it. I am looking forward to hopefully seeing the photos taken.

      It’s harder than it looks but so pleased we did we gave it a go!
      Perfect weather conditions for our group of three older adults to try this activity for the first time, calm water, good equipment, small friendly group, and the added bonus of fabulous views of surrounding fells. Steve was very friendly, encouraging, professional and reassuring, seemed to give everyone the support they needed to get the best out of the session. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to come again to build up our confidence.

      Canoe taster session
      My husband and I booked a 2 hour canoe taster session at Keswick and it really was a great introduction to canoeing. We had some basic instruction from Steve, our instructor, and 15 minutes in the bay close to shore whilst getting familiar with controlling the canoe. Then Steve followed us from island to island at our own pace, giving us tips and ensuring we stayed safe from the launches and their wake! We really enjoyed being on the Lake and wouldn't hesitate to recommend using this company if you're thinking of having a go at canoeing. Tip - wear shoes that you don't mind getting wet.

      Highly Recommend!
      First off a huge thank you to Andy our instructor, he was friendly, very experienced, pitched the day perfectly for us and takes amazing photos! This had to be one of the best experiences with my boys, so far, and we've had a few! At 8 and 14 they lapped up the challenges, and as a mum, more importantly, I felt confident that they were safe, that was all down to Andy too :) Highly recommend this company, trip and Andy, my boys are still talking about it and him! Some tips, be prepared to get a little cold, even in good weather, and very wet, head to toe! Take decent shoes and big towels to change under, you are on a car park in the middle of no where! It can be as hard or easy as you want to make it.

      Great morning on the Ghyll
      A great morning activity. Mobile Adventure were amazing, they communicated with us promptly about changes due to weather and when, where to meet. Our instructors (Adam & J) were brilliant and made the activity even better. We were 2 x groups of 11 people, including adults and young people (aged 14 to 17). Would recommend and will be back next summer.

      A superb introduction to paddle boarding
      It wasn't exactly the best weather for an introduction to paddle boarding but Phil, from Mobile Adventure made it a brilliant morning, taking us to a sheltered bay and guiding us through the techniques to get and stay upright. Everything about the trip was excellent - the communication, the kit, the safety instructions, the enthusiasm. Even on a paddle board, in a squall, there isn't a better place than Derwentwater!

    We went for a six person climb in the mine with Woody today which was absolutely brilliant! It was a great activity for a foggy day in the Lake District and a brilliant way to have a great day whilst social distancing. Just the right amount of difficulty for us six adults (30-36) and full of interesting learning about the mines along the way.

    Thanks for a fantastic experience!

    We had an amazing morning with Woody for our Climb the Mine Experience, was a great into to Via Ferrata and we can't wait to come back and try the outside routes! He was also kind enough to take a load of photos as we went and sent them all through to us that evening.
    Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area as something really unique and works in all weather!

    Climb the mine is an inside Via Ferrata with a zip line. It’s requires some level of fitness and a head for heights. We climbed up a couple of caverns and walked and scrambled through some tight spaces. Andy was our guide who was good fun.
    We booked into the 9am slot and so we’re lucky to have a small group with only 5 of us. We got to do an extra loop because we had time.
    We prepaid for the photo package, not sure this is worth it though.
    Would definitely recommend this activity if coming to the Lakes with teens.
