Confidence, Skills and Community.

Morning
After breakfast another skills workshop and then pack up our rucksacks for the overnight will camp. 

Afternoon
After lunch and once everyone is ready we will head out for a slow adventure. We’ll walk between 5 - 10km and practice skills on the way. You’ll be carrying your own kit and your rucksack will weigh about 15kg. Once we find our spot near some water we’ll set up camp, cook food on our stoves and sleep out under the stars.

We have breakfast, pack up slowly and head back to our hut whilst practicing skills and learning more on the way. We’ll share a delicious lunch at the hut together before heading off home.

Each weekend we’ll be based from a in a rustic mountain hut in a remote Lake District valley. The hut will be simple and cosy with a basic bathroom, running water, electricity and beds.

To get to the mountain hut you can drive, lift share or I can arrange a pick up from the nearest bus stop or train station (Oxenholme, Ulverston or Penrith).ion
