Testimonials

  • “I did the Introduction to Scrambling in Snowdonia in March. From start to finish I felt safe and trusted Leon’s professional ability to help me gain more confidence and experience in the mountains and in scrambling. Leon throughout the day was very encouraging and his passion and knowledge for the outdoors and the Welsh mountain ranges was highly evident. Leon also during the day answered any questions that I had about walking/scrambling. I would highly recommend Yonder Adventure Company and the Introduction to Scrambling course. ”

    Faheema Dadhiwala

  • "I took the navigation skills course with Leon recently as I’m keen to take my ML training at some point in the near future and I knew my nav skills was something I needed to give some attention. Leon was brilliant, very patient, explained in a way that was easy to understand and to retain. He also gave me extra material to help me take the skills out in my own time and practice and is always really helpful if I have questions. I’d definitely recommend for anyone wanting to improve their knowledge in the mountains. I will definitely be booking on to other courses they have available in the future."

    Corrine Hough

  • "I had an amazing day out in the mountains on an introduction to scrambling course. Leon was a brilliant guide, really friendly and informative about where we were and what we were doing etc. I had loads of fun and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to take that next step from hiking to scrambling. It wasn't scary at all and Leon was really encouraging. The only problem was my knees were rather unhappy the next day!"

    Anthony Murden

  • "First class experience. Leon was a great guide giving us the guidance to get through some of the tricky sections but space to learn and gain confidence. Excellent day and looking forward to booking another scramble."

    Jon Bentley

  • Had an amazing day on Monday doing introduction to scrambling on Tryfan. Such a great day in the mountains. Leon was a great guide and can’t wait to get others booked in with him! Would recommend. Leon is very knowledgeable and approachable! Thanks for a great day!

    Hayley Medlock

  • I had a wonderful day with Leon. He got me to experience a day I did not think possible. I am scared of heights, but with his fantastic calmness and encouragement, I managed to scramble up 1000 meters in Snowdonia. I can’t recommend enough and will certainly be returning! Exceptional.

    Guy Parr

  • My son and I had a great abseiling session at Llanymynech Rock. Leon was very professional and knowledgable and put my mind at ease when I was panicking about going over the cliff. Would highly recommend.

    Michelle Warner

  • "Leon gave me an excellent day on the fells. His intelligence, humour and wide experience made him great company and his knowledge and craft on the slopes were jst what i needed to help me tick two more fells off my bucket list".
