About

Cairnstones is the personal company of Mountain Leader, Bill Mumford.  With a long and successful career working in Health and Social Care Bill now works as a qualified mountain leader.  No stranger to adventure Bill is a longstanding Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a keen photographer and aspiring poet.  Living in Cumbria he has a deep and enduring love of the fells, its history and literature.

Being in the hills is like a metaphor for life: it is best to walk tall, walk with balance and be aware of the small changes in contours all around us.

Bill personally leads all his walks and specialises in one-off, bespoke days in the hills which engage the mind as well as the body- something quite different from the popular itineraries offered by guiding companies.  If you want something tailored to your interests- challenging, exploratory or leisurely- then it is best to hire a guide.  Even better to share it with a few friends.

Some ideas that might be of interest:

A discovery day follow in the footsteps of the Stone Age Axe Makers etc

Space to Create photography, writing, composing etc

Keeping safe in the mountains

Famous ridges weekend: Striding Edge and Sharp Edge (dependent on weather)

The other Scafell like K2, the second highest is the greater challenge

A wild camp in a remote spot, by a beck, reconnect, leave no trace…

WH Auden’s “Watershed”  his poem about the rarely visited “less cosy” Cross Fell

A moonlit hike be more aware of shapes and sounds

Bill is happy to discuss your ideas and check his website for others: www.cairnstones.uk

“You’re an engaging and interesting guide and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to lead a mountain walk and/or to provide expert navigation instruction.”

“A big thank you to Bill who was my fabulous guide. This was a personal challenge for me as I have a fear of heights that I am trying to conquer. Bill was patient, reassuring, motivational and made sure that all of us were very safe and enjoying ourselves”

Additional Information
