About the Lake District Challenge
Our base camp is in Kendal. From there, those completing the full route will take on a 100km anticlockwise loop. It includes some tough hills, the town of Ambleside, a half way point by Lake Windermere, forests, and nature reserves.
With some stunning views along the route, there will be a huge welcome and celebration back at base camp after a momentous journey.
You can choose to walk continuously through the day and night, or have a rest stop overnight.
