Fantastic weekend scrambling in Snowdonia with our wonderful guide, Katie. Everything was really well organised, so we had loads of time to enjoy the beautiful scrambling routes, including some wild swimming and posing on the famous cannon rock (see photo). Highly recommended!

This is the best way to easily and confidently enjoy the outdoor activities I love (but don’t have the gear and would never do on my own!), and all at really good value prices. I have been challenged and truly blown away by the trips I’ve been on, and I’ll definitely be going to more!

Another wonderful weekend with City Mountaineering. City Mountaineering trips are always with a small group and this allows you to really get to know your hiking/scrambling companions well but also means the group can agree easily any ‘extras’ wanted from the advertised trip. Stuart knows Snowdonia (and just about every other good walking/scrambling/climbing spot in Britain) incredibly well and can facilitate whatever people want. Thanks again! PS: since been on other trips with Stuart, and the experience is always the same: wonderful in every way.
