Is this for me?

Yes. If you have little or no experience, this course is for you. You just need to be fit enough for a day of walking.

What do I need?

You will need to bring suitable clothing to cope with the weather: waterproofs, warm clothes, hat and gloves. Enough food and drink for the day, compass, a small rucksack, notebook and pen. We will provide the maps, and compasses for those folk that need one.

Where do we go?

We will generally meet in Langdale valley, at the National Trust(NT) car park. This will be subject to local weather conditions, we will head to wherever is best on the day and agree this with you beforehand.
