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. ”

  • "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!"

  • "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."

  • 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.
