Atmosphere Mountaineering

Fantastic day out on the Glyderau with Anna and Co. We lucked out with the weather and had amazing views all round 👍🏻

Fantastic weekend with WellChild - the national charity for sick children leading for their 8in48 (English 3000’s). Absolutely fantastic people who gritted their teeth over two hard days to raise money for this super cause.

Very wet day in the mountains of the Lake District today for WellChild - the national charity for sick children English 3000’s.... it’s going to be wet and windy!

Been back from India for a few days, it’s been manic so only just getting around to sorting out photographs. I’ve got more to post from my camera so watch this space (some photos are from other members of the group).
India was amazing and the people, scenery and atmosphere were sublime, we shall be returning with our own 10 day Valley Trek in 2020 so keep an eye out for updates....

Fantastic day out in the Ogwen Valley yesterday for the Discovery Trek. Weather took a turn for the better allowing. Some sneaky glimpses through the flag down the Nat Ffrancon Valley. Lots of chatting about the geology, glaciation and flora of the Ogwen Valley.

10k run in the bag, training for an upcoming #India trek! Anyone else training for an upcoming event?

We still have a couple of spaces left on this amazing day out in the Ogwen Valley. Get in touch if you are interested 👍🏻

How do you fancy joining us next year for our Toubkal trek? _ Aptly labelled ‘Toubkal, the hard way’ you’ll spend 3 days trekking up to the summit, camping on trail, passing waterfalls, climbing ‘100 zig zags’ then staying at the mountain refuge. _ At 4,167, Jebel Toubkal is the highest peak of the Atlas Mountains and Northern Africa and the panoramic views are well worth the effort, trust us! ... _ May 2019 is fully booked but we still have plenty of spaces on our June trek - check our website for dates, itinerary and prices. _ #Morocco #Toubkal #Mountains #Adventure #Explore

What an exhilarating scrambling day on Crib Goch & Snowdon Horseshoe. Craig gave us the confidence to push ourselves outside our comfort zone (a lot!) & tackle this Grade 1 scramble. Perfect conditions allowed an absolutely perfect day. Felt safe & in good hands for the entire day. Craig ensured we felt comfortable every step of the way. Brilliant day out. More than highly recommended! Can't wait for our next trip. Marisa & Neil.



So, our next trip was the Scotland tour just a couple of weeks ago, July 18. Two days, back to back, no respite! Day 1 the CMD arête & Ben Nevis. A full day walking, hiking & scrambling under excellent guidance from Craig. If you want to feel completely safe he comes highly recommended! Perfect pace, awesome route, safety considered at every turn & you will do

more than you ever believed possible. A truly epic day. Be mindful, this is a full 10 hour challenging day out, be prepared & you will have the best time on the mountains.

Day 2 The Lost Valley of Glencoe, we didn't really know what to expect as had never walked in this area. The first part was not too tricky, pretty riverside trail, a little scree, a little ascent up rocky paths. We were soon discovering waterfalls which sadly were rather short of water due to the heatwave we've been experiencing, but the landscape was utterly beautiful. The Lost Valley is breathtaking! Pure dinosaur country! What an

amazing landscape to discover. Then we had an ascent up a scree & rock slope. This was, to be honest, quite technical. The route thereafter took much concentration as the conditions were foggy & damp, but still good underfoot. The descent was more scree, rock & uneven paths all the way, so careful placing of feet required.

Two full days walking, back to back, this tour is huge, absolutely thrilled to have experienced it under the ever watchful eyes of Craig & Atmosphere Mountaineering, & what's more I've learnt a thing or two about heather (ling & bell) as well as the geology of how those mountains actually got there. As I said, a full body & soul experience every time you step foot on a mountain with Craig :)

Well what can I say just climbed a few hills at the weekend in Wales with Craig � pahaha ok they were pretty big mountains! We deffinately Experienced the Carneddau we had a great time climbing, scrambling, learning, singing, slidding on bums talking to sheep and horses! Craig is the perfect guide he has the knowledge of the mountains plus his interesting moss facts (listen he tests you!) I felt safe at all times, felt challenged but most of all had lots of fun. Sunday was the day for Tryfan this was another level of mountain experience! We went up the north ridge and encountered 50mph winds I was out of my comfort zone but at the same time felt like I was in safe hands such a great experience and one I will never forget thank you Craig � thanks for the bants

We (Explorers Connect) worked with Craig on our Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge day and he was amazing... excellent group management, confidence and catered to everyone's needs in a safe and non-patronising way. We love Craig and will be working with him again in the future as a leader for our mountain adventures.Thank you!

Thank you Craig and Kerry for the great VEGETARIAN FOOD in waterwynch!!��

I have been wanting to do a ridge walk for a while so I contacted Craig and we decided on the cmd arête and onto Ben Nevis. But as we’re up in Scotland why not make a weekend of it!

Absolutely amazing weekend, the ridge walk was everything I wanted and Sunday was a walk through the stunning Lost Valley in Glencoe.

Craig was a fantastic guide and obviously knew the area very well and was able to point out the key features of the landscape as well as all the plants.

The pace was comfortable and nothing was too much trouble.

Overall an amazing weekend and I can’t wait to head out into the hills with Craig again. Bring on Morocco 2019!! �

Craig and Kerry did a fantastic job ensuring that Myerson completed the 3 peak challenge. They were extremely knowledgeable and 100% committed to ensuring that the challenge was completed. They constantly pushed us so that we were on course to complete the challenge. They were very encouraging throughout. Safety was a key concern for them and they ensured that we were fully briefed with kit lists months before the challenge, did training walks and continually briefed us throughout the weekend. I would not hesitate to recommend them!

Craig & Kerry were incredible! Craig being the machine that he is and being able to guide everyone in a safe and supportive manner and Kerry being so lovely and encouraging the people at the back to help them get as far as possible. The knowledge and experience they have make Craig & Kerry the perfect team and I couldn't have done the three peaks challenge without them! Would 100% recommend them for any outdoor activities as they will make your experience 10x better! Thank you so much to the both of you! X

Amazing day on Tryfan with Craig last Saturday, scrambling, climbing, laughing, sliding on my bum and bleating at goats! First time I’ve been back out on a mountain following major surgery last March, so wanted a bit of a challenge but with the support of a guide I could trust 100%. Craig was absolutely fantastic; he has the perfect balance of being supportive and encouraging whilst giving you opportunities to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Highly recommended - I couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better guide. Jo
