English Lakeland Walks is operated and administered by Alan Heppenstall. Alan is a qualified Blue Badge Guide for Cumbria, and has lived in the area for over 20 years.

During much of the time I have lived and worked in this beautiful corner of England I have walked the fells and valleys, and in the process acquired a detailed knowledge of what to me is a uniquely wonderful area. I hope the routes I have chosen for English Lakeland Walks reflect the enthusiasm and passion I feel for it.

Other colleagues I work with are Greg Bateson, who is the person responsible for looking after your luggage (and yourselves if you choose to arrange any journeys by road), and Anne Strange, a qualified mountain leader.
