Home : Weekend Trips : - Lake District Wild Camping (CANCELLED)
THIS TRIP HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS.
The exact route that we will take is yet to be confirmed, but the outline is driving up on Friday afternoon, before walking to our first camping spot near Skeggles water. Staying high, Saturday will then take us along mountains such as Kentmere Pike and Harter Fell (an extension to High Street, a major Lake District peak, is possible), before camping near Small Water (see picture above). Sunday should involve looping back to the other side of the tranquil, less-visited Longsleddale, with splendid views (weather permitting) taking in Sleddale Fell and more, before return to Oxford.
See Poster.
PLEASE NOTE: This trip is NOT a led trip like all of the other trips this term, i.e. there will be no leaders, and everyone is treated as an equal on the trip. Due to the nature of the trip, it is definitely a lot tougher than most other OUWC trips, even those to similar locations. So that the trip can proceed smoothly you MUST be able to undertake the walk that has been planned. If you don't have experience of wild camping with a full pack then please email the organisers so that you can discuss what would be involved (or come to Free Tea and chat in person).
