About
The Lake District, also known as The Lakes, is a mountainous region in the North West of England that offers many opportunities for adventure. With its fabulous “fells”, woodlands and lakes, that comes as no surprise. Cool glacial waters cut through woodlands and weave around mountains — including England’s highest mountain, Scawfell Pike (978m) — guaranteeing endless fresh air fun.
This week-long multisport Lake District adventure is the ultimate way to embrace the outdoors, and caters to all levels. You will be bouldering, canyoning, hiking and caving with the support of professional mountain leaders who will supervise, guide and advise you through any specific sticking points and help you build on your abilities in a comfortable manner to achieve new heights!

Adventure Plan
Climbing
We will make our way to the beautiful Langdale valley. This picturesque valley is situated close to our accommodation, and a short drive lead us on windy roads until the amazing mountains in Langdale come in to view. We will climb on a number of different “crags” in the valley depending on weather and group ability/ambitions. These could be Scout Crags, Sticklebarn Crag, Raven Crag, or Black Crag and Long Scar.
Hiking
Today we will make our way up one of the Lake District's big 3 – Helvellyn.
Helvellyn is situated on the east side of the central Lake District and is the 3rd highest mountain in the area. We will start our ascent from Patterdale and the shores of England's second largest lake; Ullswater. From Patterdale we wind our way up through the old greenside mines before breaking off up the hillside with Catstycam obscuring the view of Helvellyn. We make a gradual ascent up toward Raise, and the Lake Districts “ski resort” (1 lift and a shack!) before striking off right along the broad ridge which leads to the summit of Helvellyn. On cresting the ridge, we will be greeted by fantastic views of the Lake District. With Keswick and Skiddaw looming in the distance to the North, and further still the Solway firth and the Southern Hills of Scotland. A short rocky path leads us to the top of Helvellen, and the summit shelter where we will stop to take in the views of Red Tarn below us, and Ullswater stretching out in the distance. From the summit we will make or descent via Swiral Edge, on of Helvellyns ridges. This rocky ridge leads us down to a col where we can make the decision whether to head down to Red Tarn and onward down to Patterdale or make an ascent of Catstycam before returning the same way.
Canyoning
Church Beck rises above the quaint Lakeland Village of Conistion. From the top of the village walk up the “miners” track into the Coppermines Valley. At one time this was the largest copper mine in the world! You’ll here the crash of the “beck” (Viking word for river) below you. We reach a slaters bridge and get kitted up. A series of waterfalls which can be jumped and abseiled commits us to this narrow gorge. Eventually we reach the “tombestone” this large hanging slab is slid down into a large deep pool below. From here its onwards through the beck; climbing walls and jumping and swimming pools till we reach the top of the village once more.
Caving
A 40-50minute drive from our accommodation leads us into the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the dramatic Karst environment it contains. Our main objective is Long Churn. This fantastic system of caves has everything packed into a day long trip. From Long Churn lane we will get kitted up and walk through a couple of fields toward the cave, passing Alum Pot on our right (Alum is an old word for Witch, and the pot is so called as it resembles a “Witches Cauldon” with the water mist looking like steam from a cauldron!) Swimming in tight passages, wide open sandy chambers, climbs and scrambles, stalactites and interesting cave formations, and the infamous “Cheese Press” - a 3m flat “squeeze” which is doable by most. It is passable though should you not fit! We will make our way to Dr Bannisters handbasin, a large pool with a beautiful waterfall running into it, from here a wet tunnel leads us to daylight!
We will send you a detailed adventure summary via email 14 days before the activity starts.
It includes useful contacts, the weather forecast, recommended clothes, and other useful information.
We also hold a group briefing upon arrival at the accommodation, where we’ll provide you with a detailed activity plan.
