On this wildswim & walk we will be walking to Cat Bells, a charismatic mini-mountain on one of the best routes in the North Lakes. After walking to the peak there'll then be a ramble along the wooded west side of Derwentwater which is one of the most picturesque shorelines in England.
There will the option to dip in Derwentwater. You'll be sharing the walk and dip with a small group of like-minded dippers.
Plan for the experience lasting 4-5 hours in total with the walk approximately 12km. The walk does have elevation and uneven ground.
You will need:-
- Dip kit
