Thursday 11th July - Woman's Hills Skills Medium walk

Thursday 11th July - medium walk

Lankrigg and Whoap

These lovely fells are accessed from the Cold Fell road. The walk will be a medium hilly walk, and will be around 9km, with 400m of height gain. Please keep track of the walks you have done with us before, and the height gain, so that you can compare how hilly things will feel for you.

We will be walking on a mix of grassy and muddy paths, and although we will go at a steady pace to suit the group, you will still need to be ok walking continuously up or down hill!

These days are specifically for women living in West Cumbria. We'll go on a different walk each month, have a lovely time outdoors, and build up our hill skills, looking at areas such as map reading, choosing routes, and safety on the hills. The days will be supportive and fun, and it really doesn't matter if you are a total beginner! We'll go at a pace to suit the group, and each month will be a little different.

Safety

Our Statement of Provision:

Your instructors will be professionally qualified and suitably experienced, and hold their own public liability insurance. They will maintain high standards of participant care and safety, but the nature of hillwalking means that risk can be managed and minimised but not eliminated. Your instructors may vary the course location and itinerary for safety reasons, most likely due to weather conditions.

Your statement of participation:

You, as the participant, understand that hillwalking can involve an element of risk of injury or death. You agree to take responsibility for your own actions and will observe the safety instructions and guidance given by your instructor. All bookings are made on the basis that participants will observe the safety instructions given by the instructor. Participants must agree to share any relevant information that will help the instructor to look after everyone’s safety, and must agree to follow safety advice during the activity.
