Winter Walking in the Lake District - Superb!

Fabulous walking country whatever the weather - February sees some of the best walking of the year. Same as last year we should be in for a good 6 weeks of hard frosts and clear skies with plenty of warm sunshine during the day giving some of the most breathtaking views of the year.

This photograph was taken on the Friday 2nd February taken from a 300m high tarn close to the summit of Loughrigg looking east towards Red Screes.

Cote How - Set in the heart of walker's paradise

There are many interesting and varied walks which can be accessed directly from Cote How including the famous Fairfield Horseshoe, Loughrigg Fell, the lakes of Grasmere and Rydal Water, taking in the Coffin trail and Rydal Cave.

And not to worry.... we have ample washing and drying facilities to get you dried out ready for your next day's challenge!

Our Wainwright Walks from Cote How

Although, like many of you, we have already completed many Wainwrights in the past, we thought it would be a good idea to embark on a new set of walks taking in the Wainwrights from Cote How itself. We will diary these walks with photos and comments in order to offer you our insights into the different walks with timescales difficulties etc.

Wainwright Walk 1 - Silver How, Sergeant Man, High Raise

Start Point: Cote How

Finish Point: The Old Dungeon Gill Hotel - Langdale

Time taken: 6-7 hours

Guided Walks

Before moving to the Lakes David was a National Park Ranger with the Peak District National Park where he qualified to be a Guided walk leader and has had much experience in the planning and leading of guided walks for the Peak Park.

If you are part of a larger group and are interested in Guided walks in and around the Lake District, David will be very pleased to discuss your requirements and put together some walks to suit your abilities and of course..... the weather!

Navigation Training Courses

Although we have navigation training days throughout the year, we are also able to accommodate training on a one to one or group basis at other times.
