Participants will arrive at the hostel in Grasmere at 7pm for an introduction and full briefing about the weekend’s events. Please note that tonight’s evening meal is not included, although you can purchase it from the hostel, a nearby restaurant or alternatively bring your own food to cook at the accommodation.
Rise and shine for breakfast and a bright and breezy start! These are the central fells of Wainwright country, which offer some of the finest hill-walking in England.
From the hostel in Grasmere we will head directly onto the fells by beginning our ascent up Heron Pike. From here we will continue upwards, ticking off Great Rigg before summiting our highest summit of the day – the distinctive mountain of Fairfield. We’ll head eastwards from Fairfield, ticking off peaks as we go before reaching our final summit of the day on Snarker Pike. We’ll then descend directly down to Ambleside, where we’ll walk a scenic 7.5km along the valley floor back to the hostel. After a quick freshen up, we’ll relax and celebrate our achievements over dinner.
On this 10 peaks challenge you will aim to summit the following peaks:
Please Note: The exact order that you will attempt each of the peaks will be determined by your mountain leaders on the day. It will be determined by weather and the groups walking speed. A packed lunch will be included.
After breakfast (7.30am - 9am), you are free to depart. Check-out from the hostel is by 10am.
