“Gunnerside! Just join a walk in Gunnerside. Steeped in history and stunning.”

“*Hiking kit: a bag with hip belt pockets for easy access to snacks/quick pair of gloves.
*Hiking mindset: everyone has their ups/downs in any given walk. Embrace it. Take a breath, then take a step. If that doesn't help, tell someone. We got you. 👍
*Hiking must-dos: Gunnerside Gill, Helvellyn, Ullswater Way, any "residential" (i.e. trip)”

“Just book your first walk/event and car share if you are feeling nervous - it helps such a lot.👍
Read the event description - it gives details about distance and ascent ⛰️
Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
If you are unsure of your fitness start with shorter walks and work your way up.
Must dos:
•Simon’s Seat
•A night walk
•Helvellyn
•An edge
Most importantly remember you will be with like minded people so enjoy every minute.🙌🙌”
