CUMBRIA OUTDOORS
DISCOVER ADVENTURE

10 Summits in 2 Horseshoes

Walk in Wainright's footsteps

Do you love walking? Would you like to 'bag' some 'Wainrights' and get some stunning views?

Then this is the adventure activity break for you!  Based at our Hawse End Centre, explore the two classic horseshoe walks of Newlands and Coledale. 

Suitable for adults with some walking experience and who have reasonable levels of fitness.  Both routes involve mixed terrain - well used footpaths, scrambly rocky steps and some steep ascents and descents.
