Feedback

Good rapport with the whole group, very friendly and educational. Made safety briefing fun and informal. Nature points were awarded for interesting observations. It was clear that there was real enthusiasm for the outdoors and this was infectious.

Well prepared and equipped for different conditions and problems. Had alternative plans for bad weather or when one asthmatic in the group found that their inhaler was not working properly. As it happened by keeping the pace slow and offering to carry their rucksack we made it to the top of Scafell Pike without using the alternatives.

Good balance between the majority of the group who had a faster pace and two slower members who tended to lag behind. Frequent rests were arranged to keep the group together. At no time did we feel rushed even though it took us much longer than expected.
