About George Robertson

Born in Scotland where my introduction to the mountains began, I am now based in Cumbria, working as a freelance mountain leader and guide. As well as being knowledgable on the Lake District and Scotland, I have also led trips abroad - in Iceland, the United States, India, Nepal, Tanzania, China and throughout Europe. In addition, I am also an active hillgoing member of Kendal Mountain Rescue Team.

I am an International Mountain Leader (IML) and a member of the British Association of International Mountain Leaders (BAIML). The IML is the professional qualification for leading walking and trekking groups in the mountains worldwide. At present there are only 322 people in the UK who have committed to this highest-level proefssional award.

To keep instruction ratio’s low occasionally we will be joined by other well qualified instructors.
