**TRIP FULL**
The next trip with availability can be found here: https://www.meetup.com/city-mountaineering-manchester/events/295173968/

2-days and 2-nights in The Lake District National Park. We will hike two for two full days including the ascent of Scafell Pike; the highest peak in England! before a relaxing journey back to London on the train

Return train travel from Manchester included, so you don’t need to spend hours sat in the minibus on the busy motorways.

***

The main event may be ascending Scafell Pike 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 hiking 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 Manchester and leave the rest to us.

Itinerary

Please note that exact timings and order of activities are subject to change, based on the local conditions at the time.

Friday (from 7pm)

Board the train in Manchester and enjoy the relaxing journey to The Lake District National Park,

You will be met at the train station and transported across the national park to our tranquil accommodation – nestled amongst towering mountains and next to a beautiful river, this trip is set to be a wonderful detox in nature after a week in the city.

Day 1 – Saturday:

Awaking in the morning, we will have breakfast, discuss the plans for the day including a safety briefing and kit check, then pack our bags and head out for an easy day; hiking the lesser travelled mountains of The Lake District.

We will then head back to the accommodation before having a shower and heading to a local pub for dinner and drinks

Day 2 – Sunday:

We will arise early to give us as much time on the mountain as possible. After breakfast we will have another trip briefing and safety discussion before packing the car and heading out to ascend Scafell Pike.

After the hike you be transferred to the railway station for your train back to Manchester. Glowing and rejuvenated after a relaxing weekend spent in nature (expect to arrive in Manchester at c.8pm)
