Lake District 3,000’s Challenge

Book Trip
From £395.00 per person

3 days away, 3 days hiking

Group Size: 1-8

Make the most of the long weekend and join an exclusive club to reach the summit of all six mountains in England above 3,000ft!

This is a tough challenge that is aimed at people with excellent mountain fitness.

This trip is limited to a small group of just 8 people, supported by a highly experienced and qualified mountain leader.

Starting the challenge off will be an ascent of Skiddaw (931m/3,050ft) in the far north of the National Park.

You will then move on to the ever popular Helvellyn (950m/3,120ft) before relocating to the south-western end of The Lake District to tackle Sca Fell (964m/3,163ft), Ill Crag (935m/3,068ft), Broad Crag (934m/3,064ft) and Scafell Pike (978m/3,209ft)

As always, we’ll sort out the travel, transfers and accommodation so just meet in London and leave the rest to us.
