Summit 10 stunning peaks over a 17 mile route across the Lake District. This epic traverse from Buttermere to Langdale is a classic challenge but is certainly not to be underestimated. It is a strenuous route with lots of ascent and descent.
Classic peaks include Bowfell, Great Gable but the highlight will be standing on the summit of Scafell Pike, the highest peak in England. Once done, you'll take on the final few peaks and then descend to the finish in Langdale at the conveniently placed pub so you can celebrate your achievements.
Taking an early breakfast, departure to Buttermere and the start of your challenge will be at approximately 06:00.
The 10 Peaks Challenge is a linear route, starting in the village of Buttermere. Once the first peaks are completed, you'll be heading for the infamous Green Gable and Great Gable. A gruling descent from Great Gable brings you to Styhead Pass, a real milestone in the challenge.Starting along the the Corridor Route you're on your way to Scafell Pike. Great End, Esk Pike and Bowfell are to follow and then another long descent into Langdale via 'The Band' brings you to the end of the challenge.
At the end of the day you'll be transported back to your accommodation.
