Blencathra once was primary known as Saddleback. It is filled with history and made the news in 2014 when its owner put the mountain up for sale?? Now all that has settled so groups like us can enjoy the stunning views, crag and tarns this area has to offer. Everyone loves this mountain for its raw natural beauty and views of the Lake District.

This event is in total 8km with life changing views! Once at the start of the hike, you will be led by trained mountain leaders to the summit of Blencathra.
