Lake District 5 Peaks Challenge

Lake District 5 Peaks Challenge

Prepare for an epic challenge through the rugged and dramatic landscape of the Lake District, as you tackle five of England's most demanding peaks, including its highest – Scafell Pike.

  • A weekend challenge in the heart of the Lake District National Park
  • Take on 5 of the Lake District's toughest peaks
  • Trek to the summit of Scafell Pike, England's highest peak
  • Fully supported by qualified mountain leaders
  • Magnificent route in the heart of this UNESCO World heritage site

This challenge runs over just one day, but with five peaks to tackle it's certainly no walk in the park! Prepare for an exhausting but energising journey through the rugged and dramatic landscape of the Lake District, as you venture across 12.5 miles (20km) and tackle five of England’s most demanding peaks, including its highest – Scafell Pike. The group will climb to over 3,000 feet (900m), crossing crags and moorland past the Langdale Pikes towards Scafell Pike.

We've got a new look

You may notice that our website has a new look. Research carried out last year revealed there were many barriers to people accessing our support, so our refreshed branding aims to help break down misconceptions about who we are and what we do. 

This is part of a bigger piece of work for us - we're aiming to double the number of people we support by 2030.
