City Mountaineering - Reading

*** Note: due to Social Distancing requirements, all overnight City Mountaineering summer trips this year will be staying on a campsite with washing facilities/hot showers and toilets. Tents, sleeping bags and sleeping mats can be provided for free *** 2-days hiking in The Lake District National Park, including the ascent of Helvellyn, via the classic ridge: Striding Edge! The main event may be ascending Helvellyn but, as with all City Mountaineering trips, one the other day we’ll get you off the busy tourist trails and head instead to the quieter parts of the National Park, drawing on our local knowledge and years of experience to provide a truly unique adventure you’ll never forget. You don't need to have any prior experience of scrambling or remote hiking and the small group size will enable us to give you our full attention throughout the weekend, ensuring your safety and enjoyment is our number one priority. As always, we’ll sort out the travel, accommodation and most of the food (the pubs can do the rest!) so just meet in London and leave the rest to us.
