Due to the popularity of our sell-out Lake District 10 Peaks Challenge in July, we have added an additional date at the end of September, providing a wonderful opportunity to take on this challenging adventure and take in the spectacular autumnal scenery.
Exclusively for WWF supporters, join us for a uniquely challenging one day, 10-peak trek through the beautiful Lake District. This challenge requires a good level of fitness as, during the course of the trek, we'll cover around 25km and tackle 1400m of ascent. With two nights’ accommodation and vegetarian meals included, this is the perfect opportunity to fully connect with UK nature whilst raising funds to help bring our world back to life.
