We’ve been tramping these fells for quite a number of years now and
‘Mountain Journeys’ has escorted hundreds of groups around the beautiful
Lakeland fells.
What better way to experience this magical landscape than a walking
weekend break at Holbeck Ghyll Hotel. Views from the hotel grounds are
spectacular, attention to detail is top notch, rooms are sumptuously appointed,
and the food is Michelin-starred.
Our skills, experience and knowledge of the local area make these guided
walking weekends popular and this year, we are hosting what promises to be
a fabulous break here at Holbeck Ghyll, featuring guided walks around the
famous Langdale Pikes, Pavey Ark and Stickle Tarn.
After checking-in to your luxurious room or suite on the first day, we will meet
you in the evening to explain the walk and answer any questions before you
take dinner in the Michelin-starred restaurant.
The following day will start with a substantial Cumbrian Breakfast to prepare
you for the day ahead.
This package includes our services throughout, a packed lunch of fine local

produce and transportation to and from the Langdale Valley. On your return to
the hotel there’ll be a couple of hours for you to get ready for dinner and then
you will join your fellow walkers for a splendid and well deserved meal.
After breakfast on your third day you can either relax by the fire and read the
day's papers, safe in the knowledge that you have conquered some of the
most spectacular walking terrain in England, or join us once more, for a
shorter walk around the Troutbeck area, aiming to return to the hotel for
lunch-time.

• Two nights in a luxurious lake view room for two people sharing a double
room. full Cumbrian breakfast each morning and Michelin Star dinner
each evening

Mountain Journeys Team
There will be at least one qualified mountain leader on each trip. The leader
will also act as trip coordinator ensuring that the trip runs as smoothly as
possible.
Environment
As they say in the Himalaya – "take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but
footprints". Although this is not the Himalaya, we try and apply the same rule
here. Respect fauna and flora so that all can enjoy it. And remember to take
your litter home.
Fitness
A decent level of fitness is needed for these walks. The day will be relatively
long, approximately 5 - 7 hours of mountain walking. You need to feel
comfortable carrying a small day-sack and walking for extended periods and
during adverse weather conditions. Complete some training walks before you
arrive. A little time invested in training will undoubtedly add to the enjoyment
of your trip.
Weather
The weather in the mountains of the British Isles can be unpredictable. If
we’re lucky it’ll be just great! However, it's best plan for wind & rain just in
case.
