Lake District with hiking/biking day trips....

I've been doing a ton of research on a place(s) I would to spend my 60th birthday which is the end of Sept 2017. (YIKES!) My husband and are active and want to do our more active trips while we still are able. So my question is ....

Can I find a location in the Lake District for 5 - 6 nights where we can hire private guides for day trips to hike and/or bike around the region? I don't really want to pack/unpack so one location would be my preference. If the answer is yes, I'd like location and guide recommendations please.

I can find a ton of recommendations for active tour companies and am considering a couple but none are "exactly" what I'm looking for - they are either "walking" or cycling and I would like to do both. Thanks... Donna

Hey Donna, that sounds like fun! We stayed in Keswick - lots of B & B's there, and its central. We hired More Than Mountains, a couple who cover most outdoor pursuits. Super nice and helpful! www.morethanmountains.co.uk.
Keswick is also large enough to offer interesting eating and sight seeing on rest days! Jane

Jane, Donna posted in the Italy forum, so I think she's interested in the Italian lake district. But perhaps not! Donna?

Yes Italian Lake District. I thought Keswick didn't sound very Italian! LOL! Donna
