Langdale Valley, Lake District 3 day Nordic Break Low & High Level Options 19, 20, 21 July 2021 T This iconic valley with mountains towering above you in every direction, gives way to the most beautiful routes around the valley floor as well as high up on the fells. We are taking those who wish to explore the higher fells up onto the tops of mountains surrounding this glorious valley to lead you around the whole skyline during the week. The famous Langdale Pikes, Bowfell, Pike of Blisco and maybe Crinkle Crags and Bowfell (weather permitting). The lower level routes could also include walking over Lingmoor Fell with views onto all the surrounding mountains. You will be able to swap between high and low level options each day. On day 1 we will all walk together and for lunch head to Chester’s By The River.
