What We’ll Do

Friday

Arrive at Lowside Farm from 17:00 onwards, get settled into our cosy accommodation, and enjoy a relaxed evening getting to know each other.

We’ll keep things low-key with a self-catered dinner, board games, and plenty of chats to ease into the weekend as well as discussing our plan for Saturday.

Saturday

After breakfast we’ll head out for a full day hike in the Lake District.

The route will be chosen based on the weather and the group, so there’s no need to worry about fitness levels, the focus is on enjoying the day together. We’ll aim to summit at least one peak and stop along the way for a BYO packed lunch with some incredible views.

After returning to the accommodation, there’ll be time to relax and recharge before a self-catered dinner. For those who fancy it, we’ll head out for an optional pub visit in the evening to celebrate a great day in the hills.

Sunday

On Sunday morning, we’ll head out for an adventure activity to round off the weekend.

This could be something like paddleboarding, ghyll scrambling, or another classic Lake District experience (final details to be confirmed).

We’ll finish up in the early afternoon, giving you time to travel home feeling refreshed, accomplished, and full of good memories.

All good adventures must come to an end, but you’ll leave with new friendships, shared stories, and that unmistakable post-weekend glow that comes from time spent outside, moving your body, and switching off from everyday life.
