What to Expect:
This is a physically demanding and rewarding weekend designed for women who are up for a challenge. You don’t need to be a mountain expert, but you should have a solid base level of fitness and feel confident walking for several hours at a time, including on rough, hilly, and uneven ground. The highlight is a full mountain day (up to 8–9 hours) on either Blencathra or Skiddaw, led by a professional mountain guide. The days before and after include a warm-up fell walk and a flatter recovery walk around Derwent Water, which offers mostly lakeside paths and some shaded sections.

Expect:
- Three guided walks, including a serious mountain day
- A mix of fell terrain and scenic lakeside trails
- A final adventure at Go Ape Grizedale (optional)
- A purposeful and supportive group environment — not a race, but not a dawdle
- Exclusive accommodation just for our group, with room options to suit different budgets
