Difficulty information


This is our entry level route. You don’t need to be super fit or a seasoned hiker but you’ll still be out on the hills for a few hours. To prepare, get your legs moving with some local walks, ideally with a backpack to simulate the event.

There’s no rush on this route, so take your time and soak up the stunning scenery around Grasmere, including beautiful lake views and peaceful trails.
