Discover Walking

Escape to the Lake District and immerse yourself in a full weekend of guided walking. Discover breath taking landscapes, forge new friendships, and enjoy the many wellbeing benefits that come from spending time in the great outdoors.

Itinerary

Arrival Day – Arrive at the Calvert Lakes any time after 4:00pm. Dinner is served at 6:00pm which is a great opportunity to meet all the members of your team and the group instructor. After dinner maybe take a dip in the hydrotherapy pool or unwind in the Games Room with your group.

Day 1 – The first day’s walk will take you up one of the lower fells in the Lake District, an ideal opportunity to stretch your legs, take in some spectacular views, and still conserve enough energy for the following day. Upon returning to Calvert Lakes, you’ll enjoy a relaxed afternoon bushcraft session, offering time to unwind, connect with others, and chat about the options for tomorrow’s hike.

Day 2 – Today is a full day exploring the mountains. Depending on the group’s ability and the prevailing weather conditions, your instructor will select a route that offers an enjoyable yet rewarding challenge for everyone. Along the way, you’ll take in breath taking views, build confidence on the trails, and make your way to a memorable summit.

After a fulfilling day outdoors, you’ll return to Calvert Lakes, where a relaxing dip in the hydrotherapy pool will help soothe tired muscles – leaving you refreshed and ready to enjoy the evening.

Departure Day – Depart after breakfast on Monday morning

All activities are weather dependant, and the instructor may adjust the schedule as needed based on the group’s abilities and conditions on the day.  If the weather is unsuitable for walking activities, a suitable outdoor activity will be offered as an alternative.
