Langdale/Lakes Day Trip

Tickets go live at 12pm on Wed the 24th

So we'll be running a daytrip a week on Saturday (the 27th). We're keeping it very open-ended to keep our options open depending on the weather on the day, so we could end up doing anything from trad climbing to going for a walk in the rain (or maybe snow!). We'd also like to know your individual preferences for the trip to help us sort groups so please fill out the trip form. The current plan is to head to The Lakes, which leaves us with a wide variety of possible options; different teams may end up doing different things.

This trip is open to all abilities, although you'll probably have an easier time if you've climbed indoors before and are comfortable walking outdoors. If you buy a ticket and can't make the trip, please message Matt Rose directly.

We'll leave campus early to make the most of the limited daylight available at this time of year; we'll depart at 8.00AM from the university house. We'd appreciate you being a bit early so we can get everything sorted forn the day.

We're aiming to make the most of the day regardless of the weather; we won't cancel if its a bit rainy (although if its totally miserable, we'll cancel the night before and refund your tickets). As such, you'll need to bring clothes for cold and/or wet weather. Bear in mind that the fells are quite wintery at the moment, so make sure you've got everything you need. If you don't have any of the following, say so on the form and we'll try and sort you out:

  • Waterproof coat and trousers (very important)
  • Lots of warm layers (pack spares!)
  • Hat & Gloves (again spares!)
  • Approach shoes / Boots
  • Headtorch
  • Food & water; pack a flask for a hot drink if you have one.
  • Rucksack to pack it all in.


Our current plan is to head to Borrowdale, to climb at either Shepherds or one of the Combe Ghyll crags. That said, this is very much dependent on the weather, so will likely change!

We aim to be a fully accessible society so if you've got any requirements, let us know on the trip form.
