One of the most picturesque parts of the UK

Hosted by the HOFNAR team, this is going to be EPIC!

Make your own way, or join the HOFNAR minibus on Friday morning out of Hammersmith (or anywhere en route)

We’ll meet up at the 4* Crow Park Hotel on the Friday afternoon / evening and (depending on what time everyone gets there) head for a stroll into Keswick and get dinner in a local hostelry. That evening we’ll put together our final plan of action, depending on the weather and what our guides suggest. But this is what we are currently thinking…

–  We are looking to do a fairly chunky hike on the Saturday. Route suggestions are welcome, but we are thinking of taking on England’s highest peak – Scafell Pike. It’s a classic, but it’s so good; we’ll be looking to avoid the crowds, find some spectacular views and go wild swimming in remote tarns.

–  After breakfast on Sunday morning we’ll do the slightly easier going, yet super rewarding Catbells hike. (We don’t have a qualified guide for this low level hike. Please do bear this in mind before booking.) In the afternoon, we might grab SUPs and go for a cheeky paddle on Derwent water before heading home.

– We’ll leave the Lake District at about 4pm, looking to be back in London for last trains.

It will be a weekend of adventure, laughs, fitness, exploring, new friends… just so much fun, and definitely something to talk about come Monday morning when people say to you, ‘get up to anything interesting this weekend?!’
