Bank Holiday Weekend!: Lake District 3000ers Challenge

**TRIP FULL**
This trip is being repeated on the August Bank Holiday weekend. Find out more here: https://www.meetup.com/citymountaineering/events/300587783/

Join an exclusive club to reach the summit of all mountains in England above 3,000ft in a single weekend.
--------
Replacing our every popular National 3-Peaks Challenge (As a part of our mission to organise environmentally sustainable mountain adventures, we aim to minimise traffic congestion and road pollution) we introduce to you the Lake District 3000ers Challenge!
FACT: Driving the National 3-Peaks Challenge, in one weekend, emits over 9% of the carbon that a typical person uses in an entire year!
--------
Make the most of the bank holiday weekend and join an exclusive club to reach the summit of all six mountains in England above 3,000ft!

This is a tough challenge that is aimed at people with excellent mountain fitness.

This trip is limited to a small group of just 8 people, supported by a highly expereinced and qualified mountain leader.

Starting the challenge off with a bang will be the biggest day of them all, reaching the summits of Ill Crag (935m/3,068ft), Broad Crag (934m/3,064ft) Scafell Pike (978m/3,209ft) and Sca Fell (964m/3,163ft)

You will then relocate on the next day for an ascent of Skiddaw (931m/3,050ft) in the far north of the National Park.

You will then move on to the ever popular Helvellyn (950m/3,120ft) before being transferred to the train station for your relaxing journey home.

As always, we’ll sort out the travel, transfers and accommodation so just meet in London and leave the rest to us.
