Lake District Activity Week 2023 - camping

This is an amazing location surrounded by some of the most famous mountains in the Lake District great for mountaineering, climbing, & mountain biking.  Several places for watersports within around a 30-minute drive.

Activities at the event will be varied and will depend on the leaders attending, their skill set & weather.  Leaders will write their events on a whiteboard during the week so you'll be able to see meeting times, location and type of event that way (example in the pictures). Tried and tested and this method works; just means we can make the most of what's possible on the day.  Leaders will decide from day to day and this laid back approach isn't always a match for members who like to have there week super planned out.

Climbers and mountain bikers will run events which coincide with this event and list via sign up pages due to the experience / kit needed to attend these events.

This isn't an event for the party goers but in the evening's people will go to the local pubs or sit around in the centre of the field socialising.

Important info:

OutdoorLads has a section of the group field on the site for tents, however we are very limited in the number of car parking spaces available (only 30) so please make efforts to car share wherever possible. There is a page on the Carpool website set up specifically to arrange list shares, so please use that if you can offer a space or are looking for a lift - or are open to either!

This page is for booking a tent space on the group field only. If you are looking to stay in a campervan, or motorhome, you will need to make a private booking with the campsite directly. They are not offering discounts on this, given the time of year, and it will be at their standard prices. 

You don't have to camp with us to take part; other options including a hostel on the same road are available, and a whole host of local hotels and B and B's. Full, concession and PAYG members are welcome to join us for the daytime events, but will need to make a booking on the separate event page for insurance reasons please.
