FREE EVENT -Easter Trip - Spectacular Lake District National Park - Challenging!
Details
Hi everyone,
Another of our Lake District Weekend Getaway trips during the Easter holidays to explore the stunning scenery and do some incredible hikes—including popular trails such as Scafell Pike or Helvellyn, Striding Edge, Derwent Water, Catbells, etc and other scenic routes around the Lake District. I do this almost every other year, and everyone enjoys so don't miss.
### ✅ Who Can Join?
This trip is open only to those who have previously joined my hikes, and in addition, the Surrey Three Peaks is scheduled on 21st March 2026.
Participation in these events is based on factors such as prior participation, demonstrated commitment, and the ability to contribute to a positive group dynamic. Weekend-away trips can be both enjoyable and demanding; therefore, ensuring group cohesion and a supportive atmosphere is important. To facilitate this, regular attendees who have shown commitment, adherence to rules, and reliability may be prioritised. The organizer may set eligibility criteria and/or determine participant selection to foster a friendly, inclusive, and respectful environment, ensuring an enjoyable experience for everyone.

We’ll be staying in Windermere or nearby to keep the group together and enjoy evening socials. Once your place is confirmed and you are added to the WhatsApp group for this event then only please book your accommodation so to avoid high last-minute prices. Some guidance will be provided.

Transport is flexible—some will go by car, and carpooling is available if you’re interested.

💬 Joining Criteria & WhatsApp Group
To maintain group safety and dynamics, this trip is only open to those who’ve attended my previous hikes and whom I know well.
