Another fantastic course run by Sam of LDM! Me and my son booked onto the 2 day Further Scrambling course - what an experience!! Great introduction in perfect conditions on day 1 in the Langdales, then a 2nd epic mountain day 'Threading the Needle' and ridge ascent onto Great Gable. Lots of good skills learned from Sam, and some exhilarating experience gained in the process. Highly recommended and superb instruction from Sam!

The advanced scrambling course was just what I was looking for and really well delivered. There was a lot to take in but Sam was clear calm and incredibly helpful and at all times focused on safety. I would recommend this to all looking to up their scrambling grade.

I spent a day refreshing my technical mountaineering skills with Sam. He was a fantastic guide for the day - he was patient with me and had so much knowledge, I really valued his expertise. Definitely recommend.
