Lake District 10 Peaks Challenge

Fancy 10 Peaks in a day?

The Lake District 10 Peaks Challenge is a shortened version of the 2 day Lake District 24 Peaks Challenge and is based on day 1 of this 2 day event.

This is a tough challenge that will test your endurance and strength. It is set in the stunningly beautiful Lake District.

The challenge is to climb 10 peaks within 14 hours, during which you will encounter difficult terrain, steep ascents and descents along the way.

Your mental and physical strength will be tested to the max, and encouragement within the team is essential.

Why not challenge yourself and a team of colleagues with this exciting 10 Peaks event which provides an excellent platform for both team building and/or charity fundraising.
