JR Hike & Wild Cook

This is a 2 part event and you’re very welcome to join us for one part or both!

This month we are planning on a circular hike up Walla Crag via Ashness bridge, near Keswick followed by a lakeside meal.

Meeting at Great Wood car park at around 1.30pm, we’ll head up the hill and round, taking in some stunning views along the way. The walk is around 4 miles (6.5km) with a steep, rocky but manageable ascent and an easier, more gradual, flatter return. Moderate fitness is required. Hiking boots recommended due to some rocky, potentially muddy sections. All welcome! (You know your kids and dogs better than we do, so if you think they’ll make it up and round, then the more the merrier!)

Once we’ve made it all the way round, we’ll grab our camping stoves and chairs and head down to Calfclose bay, where we’ll enjoy cooking meals together in the great outdoors – kudos for the most creative outdoor cuisine! What will you bring?!

For those just joining us to cook, we’ll aim to be heading down to the lake to set up around 5pm. Please bring your own gear, food, utensils etc and we can enjoy cooking at the same time as each other, whilst sharing cooking tips and recipes, with beautiful lakeside views!

Please note: This is not a professionally guided walk. This is a social, community event and anyone who chooses to join us is fully responsible for themselves and their safety.
