Advertisement
Ten mountain summits. One demanding day in the Lake District.
Are you ready for the Lake District 10 Peak Challenge?
Join qualified Mountain Leader Tony Lowe for a strenuous guided mountain challenge taking in ten of the Lake District's best-known summits, including Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, and Great Gable.
Starting from Seathwaite in Borrowdale, this circular route covers approximately 20–21km with around 1,600–1,800m of ascent.
This is a serious mountain challenge for experienced hillwalkers with strong fitness, looking to test their endurance across some of the most spectacular mountain terrain in England.
**THE TEN SUMMITS**
Our planned route takes in:
1. Glaramara (783m)
2. Allen Crags (785m)
3. Great End (910m)
4. Ill Crag (935m)
5. Broad Crag (930m)
6. Scafell Pike (978m)
7. Lingmell (800m)
8. Great Gable (899m)
9. Green Gable (801m)
10. Base Brown (646m)
The exact route and number of summits completed will depend on weather, mountain conditions and decisions made by your Mountain Leader.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This is not an ordinary guided walk.
Expect:
• A full day of mountain walking, approximately 10–12 hours
• Sustained climbs and steep descents
• Rocky and uneven mountain terrain
• A purposeful group pace
• Spectacular views across the central Lake District when conditions allow
• Professional leadership, navigation and route decisions throughout the day
Tony will manage the route and navigation, allowing you to concentrate on the challenge and the mountain experience.
**WHO IS THIS CHALLENGE FOR?**
The Lake District 10 Peak Challenge is designed for experienced hillwalkers who already have a good level of mountain fitness.
You should be comfortable with long days in the hills, significant ascent and descent, rocky terrain and changeable mountain weather.
If your recent walking has mainly involved shorter or lower-level routes, we recommend building up your distance and ascent before booking.
