Hello, I'm Jim and I'm a qualified guide, mountaineer and ecologist. I have worked as a guide extensively across Wales since 1997 and have intimate knowledge of the mountains, coasts, culture and history of this ancient land. I am also a member of a voluntary mountain rescue team of the busy Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation North Wales has become my home for many reasons. Nowhere else in Britain will you find such variety, in such a compact area, as you will in Snowdonia - or Eryri as it is known in Welsh. I have fallen in love with the scenery and wildlife as well as the local culture. My work has taken me around the world, leading expeditions, training teachers and guiding in the great outdoors. My work also sees me guiding groups in the European Alps, especially the Tour of Mont Blanc and Swiss Haute route during the summer months limiting my availability during these months. Qualified mountaineer Qualified first aid trainer Masters degree in conservation Over 20 years guiding wildlife tours Mountain rescue member I provide a guided tour service and can meet and collect from your location (within reason). I have a vehicle to carry 3 passengers comfortably with a 4th seat available.

This tour of Snowdonia (Eryri in Welsh) offers exceptional value and encompasses the highlights of North Wales' natural beauty, cultural heritage, and slate industry heritage. You will experience the true essence of Welsh cultural heritage and marvel at its incredible beauty! I will guide you to discover tranquil places, away from the crowds, so as to really appreciate the beauty in a relaxed and comfortable manner. There are numerous short walks we can take to explore the wildlife, waterfalls, lakes, and heritage. We will explore the village of Llanberis, its fascinating slate museum, and nearby Dolbadarn Castle. A bastion of Welsh medieval architecture. We will drive along the Llanberis pass, down to Beddgelert where we will enjoy a walk along the river. We will return along the spectacular scenery of the Ogwen valley. We have the option of calling into a local cafe for tea & cake or having a pub lunch. The itinerary is very much tailored to your
This tour is specifically designed to showcase all that is Wales and Welsh. I pride myself on giving a bespoke service and my extensive knowledge of the region will ensure you get great value from your time here. • We visit the historic town of Llanberis and walk around Dolbadarn castle • We then head towards the village of Beddgelert for a gentle stroll along the Afon Glaslyn to soak up the atmosphere & charm of a traditional Welsh slate village. • In the afternoon a short walk on a stone path leads us to the lake at Cwm Idwal, Wales' first national nature reserve offering stunning mountain vistas and the essence of the Ogwen valley. • There are several options available after this which include Conwy castle or Caernarfon castle or a walk to Aber Falls. I really like to tailor the itinerary to my client's needs, some of whom are keen to walk further and some to experience the historic towns in more detail.
