Lake District Activity Week 2025 - Camping
9 people attending
36 places left
Join us for 5-nights, Tuesday to Sunday, for a week of awesome activities in this stunning part of the Lake District.
Activities at the event will be varied and will depend on the leaders attending, their skill set & weather. We usually expect lots of mountain walks, mountain biking, climbing, scrambling, and even a bit of a pub crawl. Leaders will write their events on a whiteboard during the week, usually the evening before so you'll be able to see meeting times, location and type of event that way (example in the pictures). Leaders will decide from day to day and this laid-back approach isn't always a match for members who like to have their week super planned out.
This isn't an event for the partygoers but in the evenings people will go to the local pubs or sit around in the centre of the field socialising.
This page is for those camping in a tent in the group field.
Arrange your own accommodation >
The car parking is very limited at the site, so please arrange to carpool where practical. You can use the comments section below to offer and ask for lifts, or use the chat group which will be set up closer to the event date.

What to bring
Recommended Kit List
In addition to what you need for the daytime activities, some reminders for what you'll need for camping:
Hand sanitiser and a face covering: whilst we are living with Covid-19, please bring your own to events to help keep everyone safe
Tent: make sure you know how to pitch it, even in bad weather or in the dark. Check you have all the poles, ropes and pegs. A 3 season tent is the minimum recommended level of protection.
Sleeping bag: one that provides adequate warmth, designed to go below the temperature that you expect
Sleeping mat: will keep you warmer and dryer
Waterproof bags: for spare, dry clothing
Food: search online for camping food that’s easy to cook and filling
Hot drinks: at least in cold weather
Cooking Equipment: check you have fuel and know how yours works
Eating equipment: mug, bowl or plate and cutlery
Washing up equipment: detergent, brush/scourer and tea towel
Wash kit: remember to include a towel, shower gel and shampoo
Torch: or easier still, a head torch
Food & drink
There are several pubs within walking distance, but it's a good idea to make sure you have emergencies supplies or are willing to drive.
There is a Co-op about a 5-10 min drive away and Ambleside is 20mins away.
The shop sells coffee and bacon butties etc as well as things to make a basic camp meal.
