About this Event
THE ULLSWATER WAY CHALLENGE
Join us in Pooley Bridge (specific location TBC) to undertake the iconic and epic Ullswater Way.
Starting and finishing in Pooley Bridge, we will hike the entire circumference of The Lake Districts second largest lake in ONE GO!
This breathtaking route takes in numerous Lakeland villages and sights, including the famous Aria Force Waterfall and the summit of Gowbarrow Fell.
Although it's location would suggest otherwise, this is a fairly low-level, easy to walk route which passes by stunning mountains and pauses at various viewpoibnts along the way.
Although there is no technical terrain, this is a challenging hike. A good level of fitness is required. Groups are encouraged to stick together and there are no medals for finishing first.
