The Lakes is an amazing outdoor playground. There are rocks to climb, rivers to swim, lakes to paddle, forests to mountain bike and amazing high places to abseil. It can also provide a hearty meal and a comfortable bed if you know where and what to look for.
We love getting out and having tonnes of fun and offer great days in the mountains and on the Lakes for anyone with an adventurous spirit. Huge amounts of fitness or skill are not required; just enthusiasm and lots of energy!
Pick and mix the activities described below to make your perfect day out. We can offer both half or full day sessions, or you can book onto two different activities to make the most out of your day. We are ideally located to offer a variety of outdoor adventures to suit all age groups, individuals, groups and families giving you a fantastic opportunity to see Lake District from an entirely different perspective.
In order we can provide activities to the highest standard we work with Quest4Adventure and Back to Basics Bush Craft.
Please see our Links page for more information about both of these companies.
