overview

This is a trip out from Millom – we’ll be going to Elterwater to wander along the river, round the lake, through meadows and return via woodland – a little bit of everything!

PLEASE NOTE THIS WALK IS ON A THURSDAY!

This Walk & Talk session will be  a 3-4 hour walk with lots of opportunities to stop & stare, to pause & ponder. We’ll mostly be on good paths, tracks and lanes – there are a couple of (very small) steep sections and Wellness Walks will be there to help you.

Details:

We’ll be meeting at the Tin Chapel in Millom at 10am – and aiming to be back between 3-4pm – we’ll travel to Elterwater in a minibus provided by Wellness Walks – because of this participants must book on to the event as spaces will be limited.

Please note: There is an approximately 50 minute drive each way.

Our  plan will be to walk along the river (keeping an eye out for kingfishers and demoiselles) and then on past the lake, maybe stopping for coffee/snacks. We’ll then pass the first waterfall and wander out into meadow land with spectacular views (hopefully) of the Langdale Pikes. Each year there are more and more wildflowers in these meadows – so we won’t hurry.

We then have an optional 20minute detour to go and look at Colwith Force – before we return along lanes and the forrestry track

The walk should take about 3 hours – but we’ll be taking our time, stopping a lot and generally taking it easy whilst we take in the views – but participants must be confident they can manage the walk. There is a cafe and a pub at the parking spot..

Cold Weather
Expected!

Cold Weather Not Expected!

At this time of the year in the UK the weather can be very mixed.
Participants will need to have warm clothing (including a spare top) as whilst we will be moving we may well also be stood around looking at things and will get colder than we trhink.

Wet Weather

Whatever the forecast participants must have waterproof jackets and trousers – BUT don’t worry if you don’t own any – we can lend you both so long as you let us know when you book on to the event.

Kit List

  • Sturdy walking shoes/boots – we’ll occasionally be on rough ground

If the above sounds good then you can book a place here – places are limited but we run these walks several times a year – so if its already booked then join our waiting list and you’ll be given priority next time.
