What people are saying about Paul Beds

Martin

I was very fortunate to spend time climbing in England's Lake District in Nov 2024 with Paul Bedford. What a terrific guy and a great adventure! I can't recommend him highly enough. He was very safe and skilled, taught me heaps, knew the area extremely well and was great company. Just wished we'd had more time together. Thank you Explore-Share for connecting me to Paul and supporting our trip. I'd give Paul six stars if I could.

James

Had a great day with Paul scrambling Pinnacle Ridge in the Lake District. Paul was a brilliant guide, very patient (especially with my abysmal rope work skills!), knowledgeable and above all, kept me safe so I could enjoy the day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rock n Ridge and will use them again. Thanks again for a great day 👍
