The Cambrian Mountains has so much to offer with regards to walking and exploring the great outdoors. We want to help you explore the area, going at your own pace, and making discoveries that are uniquely personal to you.

Darren is an experienced guide, fully insured, trained in outdoor first aid and all activities within the remit of his Mountain Leader qualification.

Darren takes great pleasure in sharing his knowledge of the landscape, geology, flora & fauna; and loves exploring the hills and mountains to find new experiences to share with others, to enable them to realise the benefits of the great outdoors and the effect it can have on your wellbeing and mental health. 

Darren will take time to chat with you to discover your aims for your walk and learn about your knowledge and ability. You may wish to walk with an experienced guide to give you the confidence to take on the adventure, or you need to improve your map reading skills, whatever the outcome you want to achieve Darren will be there to support you and give you the peace of mind that your trip is exactly what you want it to be.

If your group requires more than one Mountain Leader we can invite other ML’s to join us depending on the number in your group or the type of activity you have planned.
