Most of the walks available will be going up fells of around 800m.

Borrowdale is one of the most popular and beautiful valleys in the Lakes and is brilliantly positioned to tackle some of the best known fells. A huge range of walks are available from the site - both challenging and more leisurely. You could tackle Great Gable or Scafell or maybe wander in some of the quieter valleys exploring delightful rivers and tarns away from the crowds. 

Nature recovery 

While there will be the usual walks available, this weekend has a brilliant additional 'Nature Recovery' theme with a unique guided volunteering opportunity and guided walk - both in the expert hands of a National Trust Ranger.

On Saturday you will have the opportunity to join a National Trust ranger on a bog restoration project. Bog restoration is a crucial tool in carbon capture and our host for the working party will provide a fascinating incite into how they are 'saving the world one bog at a time'.

On Sunday you can join the NT Ranger for a valley walk where he will show us examples of many of the amazing river restoration and naturalisation projects taking place in Borrowdale.

The site

The site is in a stunning location with fells all around, and a river close by. Two well known pubs are within a few minutes walk.  It has hot showers (50p) and the basic things you need but it is not a luxury site.

Music - is not allowed on this event
