Grike and Blakeley Raise. This will be a one of our medium hill walks - around 7km and 300m of ascent. There can the option to also go up Crag Fell depending on the group. The walk starts from the Cold Fell road near Ennerdale Bridge, and has amazing views. in all directions. This walk will be a mix of forest tracks, and also smaller muddy paths with some steeper sections up and down. These days are specifically for women living in West Cumbria, and are funded by The Outdoor Partnership through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. We'll go on a different walk each month, have a lovely time outdoors, and build up your hill skills, looking at areas such as map reading, choosing routes, and safety on the hills. The days will be really supportive and fun, we'll go at a pace to suit the group, and each month will be a little different. Car shares can be arranged within the group, via our Womens Hill skills WhatsApp group. Timings: 10am - 3.30pm Meeting point: we will email with final details before the walk Car shares can be arranged via our WhatsApp group, we will also try to choose routes accessible by public transport You will need: food and a drink comfortable clothes suitable for the outdoors warm layers walking boots waterproof jacket, and waterproof trousers if you have any small rucksack walking poles optional The days are funded by the Outdoor Partnership.
