Experience the thrills of Climbing, Canoeing and Canyoning whilst surrounded by the volcanic peaks of the Lake District.

The Lake District national park is a stunning setting for a myriad of mountain sports and home to enthusiasts from the world over. We will bring you a small taster of what this stunning environment has to offer, the wonders it holds and the adventures to be found in its deep ghylls and high peaks.

What the price includes:

• 4 Night's in 3* camp accommodation (Family tent will be provided)
• Free child places
• Self catering basis
• Activities as per itinerary
• Technical and safety equipment
• Wetsuits and buoyancy gear
• Activity Instructor fees
• On-activity insurance

We will provided a 4 person tent with catering facilities.  We suggest you bring with you sleeping bags, pillows and a torch.  

Meeting you at your accommodation, we will guide you to and through all the experiences, and the spectacle of the abundant rock and ghylls available in the park. Our base for the weekend will be the Great Langdale campsite, 4 miles outside Coniston. This puts us right in the heart of the national park, surrounded by ancient volcanic mountains and deep lakes, providing some of the best activity environments in Britain.

Each day we will break out from our base to find new challenge, some outside your tent or a few minutes down the road and on other days we will travel a little bit further to give you the best experience of what Lakes have to offer. The experience will be tailored to the experience and capability of the individuals in the group and progress accordingly. But at the end of each day, return to the comfort of our accommodation to unwind, rest those sore muscles, take on a hearty meal and prepare for the next day’s adventures.

This is an experience to a mountainous and rocky area and use of water, thus there is an inherent risk involved in such an activity. Whilst every effort is made to anticipate all eventualities and medical cover provided for emergencies, it should be understood that participation in the activities is at your own risk and with the acceptance of that inherent risk, shortening and/or termination of the experience is at the instructor discretion.

The experiences of the individual participants on the expedition may vary greatly, from an experienced rock climber to a complete beginner, so the level of preparation depends upon you. A generally good level of fitness will greatly improve the enjoyment you will have on the experience. 

Expedition Itinerary

Please note that this is an example itinerary, and is dependent upon team ability, local conditions and infrastructure.

Day 1: We will meet you at your accommodation on the afternoon/evening of your arrival and help you to set up camp and/or settle in. We will then introduce you to the site, its facilities and its rules. We will also give you information on the local area and the nearest towns and amenities. We will then have the opportunity to discuss the week’s activities and get to know each other over a BBQ and refreshments (some foods and non-alcoholic drinks provided, however you may wish to bring additional supplies).

Day 2: Start the day with a good breakfast and pack what’s necessary for the day. We will then travel to our first location of the weekend. Here we will spend the day climbing, where we will learn the fundamentals and techniques of climbing and belaying as well as challenging yourself to an abseil down a vertical rock face.

Day 3: This is mountain day! We will take an interesting scramble route up through the gentle Dungeon Ghyll to the imposing mountain of Langdale Pike. Making good use of sections of rock scrambles and easy walking climbs, we will hopefully summit and see the entire of the national park from this lofty vantage point!

Day 4: We will journey over to Coniston for the day were we will stop for a time to enjoy what the town has to offer in the form of the beautiful lake, marina and outdoor shops before having lunch and moving onto the parking area of our canyon at the Church beck. Here we will kit up for an exciting and completely soaking ascent of this atmospheric canyon, possibly even continuing on (time allowing) to Low Water beck to end the day. Once completed we will return to the car park to change and return to the accommodation.

Day 5: With an easy start to the day, we will get kitted up for another potentially wet morning as we make our way to the water’s edge of our chosen lake. Here you will have to work together to paddle the lake in canoes or successfully construct a raft built of your own design from the materials we provide you. After this we return to the accommodation to pack up our gear, review the weekend’s activities and make our goodbyes.

PLEASE NOTE: Please note that the above itinerary is intended as a guideline only all though every effort will be made to adhere to it, changes may be forced on it by weather conditions, transport failure or other unforeseen events.
