So much fun. - We really enjoyed our afternoon ghyll scrambling with J. Our group had so much fun and J made us feel safe at all times. We hired the go pro helmet and got some great videos. You will not be disappointed if you book this activity.

Excellent experience, Highly recommended! - Excellent work experience from the beginning right through to the end. We had Jay as our instructor who was excellent, apart from his endless dad jokes (we enjoyed them really)!

Great morning on the Ghyll - Another great session by the team at Mobile adventure. We took a group of 18 (Scouts) for our second year running. The young people had an amazing time, apparently it was even better than last year. From booking, communications and the activity, the service was excellent and we will be coming back again next year.

Adventures scrambling in Stonycroft Ghyll - One parent and three teenage children got kitted out in wetsuits, vests and helmets the parking area. This meeting point wasn’t difficult to find, and a few minutes drive from Keswick, with the instructions provided by John. After about a 15 minute uphill walk we began our decent through the stream. This was action packed, involving some walking between “obstacles” where our guide, Steve, instructed us how to best navigate them - sliding, jumping and bellyflopping, our journey down. Steve was vey knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging and took several photos of our journey. We spent over an hour in the water. It was a rainy day but it wasn’t noticeable being already wet but dressed for it. It was quite tricky at points but a very fun experience. There were 9 in our group in total plus Steve. We’d definitely do something similar again and book with Mobile Adventure.

Just a great day! Do not hesitate to book - Adam was a terrific guide who looked after us the whole afternoon. We enjoyed challenging but accessible scrambling, beautiful scenery and fresh water through the Ghyll. Adam gave us some great history about the Ghyll and the local area. Fin, Adams dog, was our mascot for the day. Highly recommend!

Great outdoor activity for a non-outdoorsy family! - Great reviews prompted me to book this activity as a proper outdoor experience in the Lakes! Great customer service from John who answered all my questions in advance (our eldest son is autistic and needs to know lots of stuff ahead of the day) and managed to find me a wetsuit to fit! Andy put us all at ease on the day and made the whole thing lots of fun! If you follow his lead, you won’t go wrong (although you do need to be able to manage a 15 minute hill climb to start off so be prepared!) Would highly recommend!
