Scrambling/Hiking in The Lake District - Includes return train from London!

**JUST 1 SPACE AVAILABLE**
*Current Group: 2 male, 5 female*

2-days and 2-nights in The Lake District National Park. We will hike two for two full days including scrambling (using your hands to ascend steeper terrain, but not too steep that would require the use of ropes).

This trip will involve hiking the lesser travelled areas of The Lake District.

The specific location will be communicated when you have signed up, but we will be tackling two classic grade 1 scrambling routes the the summit of some very well known peaks in the region.

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

***

Small group!! (Maximum 8-people)

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 logistics so just meet in London 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 6pm)
Meeting outside Euston train station, you will board the train for a relaxing journey to The Lake District.
You will be met at the train station and transported across the national park to our tranquil accommodation – nestled amongst towering mountains, 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 the day; hiking/scrambling the lesser travelled routes 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 tackle the second classic scrambling route (up a ridge to one of the most iconic peaks in The Lake District)

After the hike you be transferred to the railway station for your train back to London. Glowing and rejuvenated after a relaxing weekend spent in nature (expect to arrive in Euston at c.9pm)

DIFFICULTY: This trip is designed to be a moderate 2-days in The Lake District. The routes are straight forward but some steep uphill and downhill hiking is unavoidable when scrambling. A reasonable level of fitness is expected, but you don't need to be a super-athlete to join this trip.
Some people find the exposure when scrambling mentally challenging, but don’t worry, your qualified guide is highly experienced enough to keep the pace slow and everyone happy, safe and motivated throughout the trip

TRANSPORT: Return train journey from London and short distance minibus transfers in The Lake District

ACCOMMODATION: Exclusive use, single-sex rooms in a warm and comfy hostel/bunkhouse
