Participants will arrive at the hostel in Ambleside 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 Ambleside we will begin our ascent up to Red Screes. From here we descend a short way and head towards the distinctive mountain of Fairfield, tackling a steep ascent to join part of the famous Fairfield Horseshoe route.
We will head westwards towards Fairfield, ticking off peaks as we go before reaching the summit of Fairfield, the highest summit of the challenge at 873m.
From this iconic summit our descent route goes via Great Rigg and Heron Pike before descending into Ambleside where we will celebrate our achievement with a celebration dinner!

1. Snarker Pike

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.
