This is a proper mountain environment and all walk options will be strenuous but achievable for anyone with reasonable fitness and the right kit

Come and join us for a weekend of hiking, fireworks and camaraderie by the western-most lake in the Lake District!

The place: Rising abruptly out of the coastal plain of West Cumbria, Ennerdale is one of the most remote of Cumbria valleys and has a distinctive character of its own. There is a sense of tranquillity, ruggedness, self-will, wildness, a feeling more of Scotland or Scandinavia.

The activities: The walking is epic from the door, there will a be a big challenging Saturday walk and potentially an easier (but still substantial) option.

After a rewarding day exploring the fells, we can retreat to our well-appointed cosy hostel that sits nestled in the trees. This is a real ‘away from it all’ location, one of the most remote hostels in England with its own off-grid, hydro-electric power supply.

We will aim to have fireworks on Saturday night, weather and warden permitting. Please bring a firework contribution, big, small or sparkler, it’ll all make for fun round a bonfire.

Sunday morning there will be a shorter, easier walk for those who want one.

Mobile/wi-fi: Enjoy a weekend free of digital distraction with no mobile signal or wi-fi. If you want to have access to digital maps, podcasts, etc. over the weekend, then remember to download these before leaving home.

Dogs: This venue is not suitable for dogs.
