Day 2, Sat 25 Sep 2021

Kayaking and Biking

You will wake early for a pre-challenge breakfast before beginning the adventure. The morning starts with a transfer to the first challenge activity - the kayak section - a circular kayak loop on Lake Windermere.

Upon competition there is a short transfer to the tough bike section up the hill and into Grizedale Forest. The forest circuit in the forest is one of the Lake District's most famous mountain biking locations. You can guarantee you will be well tested on the forest tracks before descending back to Grasmere along quiet country lanes.

Accommodation is provided at the YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe.

Day 3, Sun 26 Sep 2021

Trekking

Next up is the trek, a challenging marathon distance (26.2 miles) along the Cumbria Way from Keswick to Coniston. This route includes a tough pass between the Langdale Pike mountains and teams will need to ensure they have sufficient navigation skills to follow the well marked route.

Having completed the challenge, we will review everyone's timings and scores and celebrate the winning team. You will then be free to depart and start your journey home.

Meals: B, L

Important information

Please note:

The itinerary, or the order in which you complete the activities may vary depending upon the weather and other aspects beyond our control.

If you are returning home by train please make sure you have booked an open ticket, as timings will depend very much on the group’s speed and ability. You may also want to consider booking yourself another night at the hostel to avoid travelling/driving home when tired.

Meals: B = Breakfast, L = Lunch, D = Dinner
