"A quick note to say heartfelt thanks for all your support on Sunday. I’m sure that without your leadership and guidance we would have struggled to complete the three peaks challenge, and certainly not have done it in the 12 hours."
Spend an sociable, enjoyable and adventurous weekend walking some of Lakeland's most iconic mountains, guided by experienced Mountain Leaders.
Discover little-known paths, adventurous routes, ridges and summits, taking you away from crowds and into a world of towering crags, hidden tarns and majestic mountains.

Our routes will take us onto the mountains and fells that surround Wasdale including Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain.
Small group sizes - maximum 8 people per Mountain Leader.
The weekend will be based at the Strands Inn, Nether Wasdale, in the beautiful western Lake District.The village offers a range of accommodation including two pubs, a hotel, camping barn, campsite and nearby Youth Hostel. Click image below.
