MTN DAYS is based in Kendal and led by Tony Ward, a mountain guide (Mountain Leader) with over 25 years experience of guiding others in the mountainous environments of the UK and Europe. Having fallen in love with the mountains during a Lake District visit as a teenager, Tony has dedicated much of his life to exploring and sharing the beauty of the outdoors.
His passion extends far beyond hiking, encompassing winter mountaineering, trad climbing, ice climbing, alpine-style mixed mountaineering and open water swimming. From the rugged fells of the Lake District, to the far north of Norway and the iconic peaks of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn in the Alps, Tony has had countless mountain adventures throughout the UK and Europe.
In addition to his mountain expertise, Tony is actively involved in the local outdoor community. He is a founding member and helps in the running of Blue Mind Men, a cold water swimming group that meets weekly in the Lake District. Tony has also shared his love of wild swimming by leading guided sessions at Wilderness Festival.
At MTN DAYS, we believe in creating accessible and personalised experiences and are here to help you enjoy the outdoors and achieve your goals, whether you’re a seasoned mountain walker or new to the outdoors and seeking a taste of adventure.
