The bookings button works fine now

Update Sunday 11th, they all passed the first aid course ok.

Ok I have finally found time to sort out the code for the bookings button on the KR site and it all seems to work fine.

So now that the bookings button is working I can look after things whilst all the other leaders are on a two day first aid course tomorrow and Friday.  Yes, Pete, Alison and Cathy are all going to be grovelling around on their hands and knees for a couple of days in the mud ha ha. 

Meanwhile, bookings for the Keswick Mountain Festival are coming in and usually they continue at a faster rate as the event draws closer, so don't leave it too late before you book.

A few changes to the way we do things

We will no longer be standing outside the Moot Hall in Keswick just waiting to see who turns up for the walks willy nilly but will expect you to book us before the day. This gives us more flexibility over where we meet for the walk. For instance, we might offer a walk up Scafell which means we can meet you at the starting point in cars. We still intend to keep as environmentally friendly as we can but we want to be able to go further afield and that means using cars or car sharing sometimes. All walks will have the usual leaders who will inform you fully what to expect when you book and you still only pay on the day of the walk.

You can book by email or telephone and you contact the leader for the walk.
Contact information is on this blog and it will be on the website too with a bookings form.

Please get in touch if you want clarification on any point or comment and we will get back to you.

Stop Press Walk change of date

The walk Cath was doing tomorrow has been re scheduled for Thursday with a different start time.

Mon 4th July CC 1/2 Day Whinlatter (C) Start 1.30pm Masmill Woods  This is cancelled .




This walk will now take place on Thursday 7th July starting at 10am and is all day now.  See the July programme for details.

Name Change and Loyalty Cards

After much discussion amongst our team we decided to change our name to KR Guided Walks as this was seen as a more snappy modern title which could not be confused with the Ramblers Association which of course we are nothing to do with.

We have also decided to introduce Loyalty Cards which will benefit our regular customers. The idea is simple, come on 4 walks and have them recorded on the card and your 5th walk is free. The cards will be available from the leaders who will sign them to prove you have done the walks.


The programme will be typed into this blog today so come back later and all will be revealed. The website will be updated soon but it does take a bit longer to do so usually the blog is the first place any changes appear.

Keswick Mountain Festival our walks are filling up!

Yes, we have taken more orders over the last few days and now the Helm Crag to Stonethwaite walk is fully booked. So a big thank you to all of you for supporting us and we hope to see all 20 of you on the day.

More of you have been turning up at the Moot Hall after reading about us for the first time on the new website and you have been most complimentary about it to me. Also I know that you all say you will be back, so we look forward to that too. We had a couple of lovely ladies all the way from Florida and a Norwegian lass + Mary from Kent and Neil up Catbells last Tuesday so if you have any photos you want to send in please don't hesitate as I have not been carrying a camera on the last few walks I have taken out. I know that yesterday's walk up Skiddaw with Alison and Halle was thoroughly enjoyed by all and I was told the visibility and views were superb.
