What we’re about
We are a group of friendly, outdoor enthusiasts who love getting out and about exploring the beautiful countryside of Scotland from the borders to the highlands.
We organise walks that suit all different levels of fitness and ability from easy grades to strenuous. Choose a walk that suits your capability. Then have a great time, enjoying some company in a safe and supportive environment.
Can we remind everyone that not turning up for trips that are restricted in numbers, or, not meeting someone that you have arranged to get a lift from is unacceptable. We will take steps to exclude persistent offenders.

Stuart and I will walk this Sunday walk before we all head home and campsite happy on those all packed up to park there to do walk. There are few valleys in the Lake District that offer easy walking as scenic as Great Langdale, and its compact sibling; Little Langdale. This circular walk brings in the best lower level walking offered by both Great and Little Langdales. One feature of this walk is the visibility of the Langdale Pikes, which seem to be visible for almost all of the walk.
The route allows you to explore the popular Langdale Valley without hardly any strenuous climb. Woodland trails, hillside paths and sections of the Cumbria Way lead you from the New Dungeon Ghyll to Blea Tarn, Elterwater quarry, through picturesque villages and past remote farmhouses and National Trust cottages.
NOTE - This walk starting from National Trust Stickle Ghyll car park by the New Dungeon Ghyll hotel.. Circular, low level route through the Langdale Valley, showcasing some of the best views of the Langdale Pikes. Walk about 3-4hrs with lunch break, 8 miles.
