Mixed Weekend Trip - Lake District

The first mixed trip of the year is here! We will be heading to the Robertson Lamb Hut in the Langdale Valley, Lake District. This is an ideal venue to access all the great walks, climbs and scrambles the Lakes has to offer.

Both Walking and Climbing will be available on this trip. However, if you wish to climb then some previous experience is necessary. This can be provided through the club before the trip - please speak to Andreas Rossidis or Katie Gemmell about this.
