Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My partner and I did a morning ghyll scrambling with Tim in the Langdale valley. It was a freezing cold but stunning November day and we had an absolute blast. Tim is excellent at what he does, which inspires confidence to challenge yourself more than you otherwise might. Really nice guy too. Would recommend to anyone thinking of doing this kind of activity.

Spent an amazing afternoon ghyll walking and canyoning.Tim, our guide, was excellent, very friendly, flexible and assessed the abilities of our family group well.
It was one of our holiday highlights which is a top recommendation from a group that includes a 14 and 16 year old.
Our top tip was to make sure the footwear you use is as grippy as possible.

This was my second time booking with Tim having previously booked with him a couple of years ago for a group activity day (raft building and canyoning) for a hen do. We all had a great time and so I booked the half-day canyoning activity at Coniston again for me and my boyfriend during our recent trip to the Lakes.
When we arrived to meet Tim at the pre-arranged location all of our equipment was ready and waiting for us and everything was very well organised (Tim even brought a little pop up tent for us to change in as it was raining a little).
The canyoning activity itself was really fun and was a great way to spend a morning in the Lakes doing something a bit different. We did lots of exciting climbs/jumps/slides etc and Tim was excellent in making sure everything was done safely. He also took lots of photos and videos of us during the activity which gave us really nice memories of the day.
Thank you to Tim for such a great morning - we would certainly book again and would 100% recommend him and Adventure North West to anyone looking for a fun activity day in the Lakes!

Brilliant afternoon scrambling up river. A real challenge for me and my 10 year old and Tim was great, going at our speed. The experience of nature from down in the river was breathtaking and the pools and jumps a lot of fun. No where near as cold as I expected as the wetsuits worked really well. It was a very small group, just us, which made it so much easier to not feel pressure to go faster.

My partner and I booked in for ghyll scrambling in Great Langdale early March as a birthday treat. Tim was incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic about providing the best possible experience. We did the 3 hour course and all of the equipment provided kept us warm for the entire trip. We would one hundred percent look to book future adventures with this company. Thanks Tim! We also went for a post trip warm up and lunch at the pub near the car park which we’d also recommend.

Booked with Tim for a stag-do of 6 and we all had an amazing time! Raft building and racing in the morning was a great way to start the day with a friendly but competitive spirit. Followed by a lovely lunch provided of hot and cold foods, tea, coffee & soft drinks. With the action then taken up a notch in the afternoon canyoning, diving into rock pool and jumping from cliffs. Tim was very friendly and joined in with the laughs and action the whole time. Would 100% recommend Adventure North West.

What an amazing day! We started off SUP boarding on Lake Coniston & Tim was so friendly & patient thoroughly teaching us all the skills we needed to be safe on the water as well as giving us plenty of chances to rest & take in the scenery.
In the afternoon we did Canyon jumping & ghyll scrambling… Oh My Goodness! What a fantastic & exhilarating way to spend an afternoon. Again Tim explained everything very clearly & made sure we were comfortable with all the challenges he set us. It is so much fun. We highly recommend these activities & for Tim to be your guide.
The number of photos he takes for you so you have a wonderful momento of your day make it even more special.
Thank you Adventure North West!!!

Loved our morning paddle boarding. Tim was great, patient, helpful and informative. He had great knowledge of the area, with some great stories of the lake. He took some brilliant pictures so we could spend our time mastering our ‘skills’ but still have some great pictures of the day. We stopped at a wonderful cafe and overall had an amazing experience. As total beginners, we were very rapidly up on our feet which says more about Tim’s instruction than our skill level. Email communications were prompt and clear. Would definitely recommend, I’d love to do some of your other exciting experiences. Thank you.

Booking for Adventure North West was an easy and slick process, we turned up to the National Trust car park with all of the gear already set up in a clean and orderly fashion.
Tim was an amazing guide who was super knowledgeable, his stories of the local area and the Ghyll itself were super interesting and it kept us engaged as we traversed up!
The overall experience was a great workout and was pleasantly cooling while it was hot outside, we had plenty of great photo opportunities and still also had time to relax as well.
We will be recommending Tim and Adventure North West to all family and friends, 100% worth checking out if you are going up to the Lakes any time soon!

We did the Ghyll scramble in the Langdales in the Lake district, and it was literally the best day ever! Tim was a brilliant guide, having been scrambling the Ghyll since he was 8 years old he knew exactly where we should step or hold on to, and where it was safe to jump into the pools from and other challenges we could do. It was so much fun. And thanks Tim for providing the tents to get changed in and all the kit. We felt warm and safe in the wetsuits, jackets, life jackets and helmets.
Theo age 9 also wants to say 'It was a great adventure and I liked jumping into the pool from the highest rock and I liked the secret cave and swimming in the deep pools'.
