Testimonial

Coast To Coast

I did the Coast to Coast with Simon as our guide. His knowledge, competence, experience and passion was inspiring for a first time hiker. After this I am hooked and will be back to “bag” some more hills.
I can highly recommend Simon Stokes

Rock Climbing

Simon was extremely helpful in teaching me the setup of gear and ropes for Trad climbing. He also gave me some great tips on smearing (which definitely improved my climb). I can now climb with my friends on harder routes, confident on my gear placement and anchor setup. Thank you

Taken part in the Peak Outdoor 2 day bronze navigation course this weekend. Very informative and enjoyable at the same time, Simon certainly knows his stuff and delivers it in an easy to understand way and takes the time to go over the more difficult stuff until it clicks into place.I can highly recomend Peak Outdoor and now considering booking the Silver course

Mountaineering

I’ve climbed in the Himalayas with Simon and had many fantastic hill days with him in Scotland over several years.Simon is a vastly experienced and well qualified all round mountaineer. A great, fun guy, his passion and enthusiasm are inspiring. I’ve no hesitation in recommending Peak-Outdoor – enjoy !

Great day with Simon – great to have a refresh on trad skills , incredibly knowledgable about both techniques and the local area would recommend a day with Simon to anyone looking to progress on rock

Hiking

Simon Stokes guided our group on the Coast to Coast in August - quite sure we couldn’t have done it without him! Very professional and with a job to get us across the line safely each day, but always with a great sense of humour

DofE

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Simon in the Peaks on the DofE award. He is knowledgeable, professional and has a great work ethic. I’d happily work along side him in the future and would highly recommend him for any adventures you may have in mind

Hiking

What was so special about Simon was his genuine interest in each of us as people as well as the time he took to check on our well being. This was particularly important as it was quite a long walk and the first week although spectacular, was also quite difficult. Simon had all the skills and knowledge you expect from a guide as well as warmth and his own Yorkshire brand of humour

Fantastic weekends climbing with Simon and Gary. Their encouragement, patience and guidance is brilliant, so you come away with a sense of achievement whether you managed to get to the top, or improve by one move on your last attempt. Relaxed, entertaining and very enjoyable. Already looking forward to the next session!

Climbing & Navigation

I genuinely can’t recommend Peak-outdoor enough. An absolutely incredible time both rock climbing and doing the navigation course. I’ve learnt far more on these sessions than just skills. Simons consistent positive attitude and determination is tangible in every moment and this more than ensures you’ll have an incredible day regardless of the activity. His knowledge and skills are extensive and he’s more than happy to pass these on at whatever level you find appropriate. Value for money is 5/5!! Can’t wait to be back out climbing again soon with you!! If you’re wondering about booking.. just do it

Mountaineering & Navigation

I have recently spent several days with Simon across a range of activities from walking, scrambling, weaselling and most recently NNAS bronze.
I learnt a huge amount and feel a lot more confident heading into the hills due to this course - it’s not just the syllabus that has taught me a lot, it’s Simons knowledge he shares built up over many years in the outdoors.

Couldn’t recommend it enough!
