An 8km / 5 mile loop to the summit of one of Wainwright's classics; Blencathra. Blencathra is one of England’s most popular and famous mountains. On this Grand Scale Trail we will take in the Hall’s Fell Ridge (Grade 1 scramble) before reaching the summit and descending past Blease Fell.This route is not for the feint hearted. We will climb 725m / 2400 ft. Although you don't need to be an experienced hiker, a good level of fitness and good head for heights is required, as this will involve a scramble, using your hands.
However, rest assured that with a qualified, experienced Mountain Leader, you will be able to experience a true mountain trail, enjoy spectacular views, and ultimately feel an incredible sense of achievement.
must be booked in advance and cost £30 per person.
Tickets are priced at £40 per person and include?
A small group atmosphere (max. 6 participants per leader)
Fully guided walk with a professional and knowledgeable Mountain Leader.
Full details of what to wear / bring and where to meet.
An Abigail's Trails Scale Trails Certificate upon completion.
Children over the age of 12 welcome, with an accompanying adult. I would advise against bringing dogs, unless you believe they will be comfortable, agile, and sensible on a ridge walk.
Please note, the route is dependent on weather. If deemed too treacherous to climb the ridge, we may ascend Blencathra using a different route.
Please arrange your own transport and accommodation, if required. We recommend having insurance to cover, at a minimum: cancellation and curtailment; medical and emergency expenses (including repatriation); personal accident; injury and death.
