A return to the Lake District, but for the first time in years we’ll be heading there in the summer! We’ll be staying just next to Derwent Water and Catbells, for a weekend of Wainwright bagging, and maybe a bit of wild swimming. 

Booking opens: 23rd May 2027

Price: TBC

Places available: 24

Can I bring my dog? Yes, but you might have to pay

Is bedding included? Yes, but you might prefer to bring your own pillow too.

Right in the centre of the Lake District, we can climb Catbells, Causey Pike, Outerside and Stile End, walk all the way round Derwent Water, and even go to the pencil museum. Expect long, light evenings and making the most of whatever weather we get. 

Weekends Away are only open to Ramblers members. You will need to arrange your own transport, although the group will try to put people in touch to arrange lift shares. The nearest train station is in Penrith, and there are buses that run to Keswick.

We have exclusive use of the bunkhouse from 16:00 Friday afternoon,  but you are welcome to arrive at any time after that. Some people like to travel early to make the most of the day, while others prefer to travel after work. The finish time will depend on how long any walks on Sunday take before returning home.
