Big Walks - Education groups

Have you ever thought about walking Hadrian’s Wall, the Cumbria Way or The Allerdale Ramble?

These 'Big Walks' are possible with the help of our qualified and experienced outdoor education leaders.  

Perfect for a small group / school to engage with a long-term project, embedding Outdoor Education within the curriculum. This experience gives children the opportunity to develop independence, resilience, communication, teamwork, a sense of responsibility for themselves, others and their surrounding environment and increase in physical and mental health. 

Children, staff, and our outdoor education leader develop a close relationship.  We aim for you to have the same leader throughout wherever possible, so they can make observations and adaptations for individual's wellbeing and learning. 

From planning to delivery, we will work closely with you; from walk organisation (day walks and/ or incorporating overnight stays), administration, transport, to individual requirements for groups/schools, staff or pupils, and if required, provide our delicious homemade traybakes and meals.
