ENGLAND: The Cumbria Way - Walking the Lake District from South to North
Tue 16th Sep 2025
Walk
The first of two walks in the UK. A 7 day, 8 night, 112 km, daypack adventure walking the full length of the beautiful Lake District in the UK from Ulverston in the south to Carlisle in the north. This is a self guided walking tour with Macs Adventures where they will pre-book our accomodation in a variety of comfortable B&B’s and hotels, mostly in quaint little Cumbrian villages. Our luggage will be forwarded to the next overnight destination each day, so we will be walking with our day packs only. Expect some long days on well graded tracks with lots of breathtaking views from high hills and several mountain passes with some equally steep descents - distances will vary from 13 to 26kms per day with a total elevation gain of 1900 metres. Lots of interesting side trips and things to visit each day.
Following this walk, we will have a couple of rest and sight-seeing days in Carlisle and Glasgow and then you may choose to join us again for another similar 8 day, 7 night walking adventure traversing the West Highland Way in Scotland commencing on 26th of September.
If you’re interested in booking a place, on this walk or both, let me know and I will reserve a place for you. There are only 10 places available on both walks. Cost of walk is about $1810.00
