Lake District Adventure Challenge

Tackle all terrains as you bike, hike, and kayak through the heart of the Lake District National Park.

Conquer one of the Lake District’s most iconic peaks – the Old Man of Coniston, experience the thrill of off-road biking in Grizedale Forest, and paddle across the picturesque Coniston Water.

All bikes, kayaks, and safety equipment are included, making it easy to focus on the challenge ahead. Covering approximately 10 miles of cycling, 5 miles of trekking, and 2 miles of kayaking, you'll tackle steep climbs, challenging hills, and one of the largest natural lakes in the UK.

Organize your own accommodation to suit your comfort and budget and enjoy the support of locally based Mountain Leaders.

There are multiple payment options for this trip.

All payment options have an initial £45 deposit on sign up. If fundraising, 80% of your total (£208) is due 10 weeks before your challenge.

Dates:
