The 3 Lakes Challenge - April to September

 

 

Our 3 Lakes Challenges are fantastic team events with a number of different options to choose from. You may want to just paddle the 3 lakes and be transported between each leg by road transport or should you have the interest and feel up to it you may condsider biking between the lakes giving a more sustained challenge requiring a highly level of fintness. Alternativley we have designed a 2 day event which combines a number of different outdoor activity elements including the paddling of the 3 Lakes but also with the ascent of Striding Edge and Helvellyn, mountain bike orienteerin course and an abseil. This option is tough but one which is an amazing journey.
       
Our 3 Lake Challenge can be run purely against the clock or against each team taking part if you have that competitive element - the choice is yours! These events are great fun and involve a great deal of skill and teamwork. Not only are you undertaking a great personal and team challenge but you are also doing it in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK - it's awe inspiring scenery!
   

Our 3 Lake Challenge Options:

Option 1 - Paddle and vehicle transport

3 Lakes Challenge - 12 hour timed event

Paddle the 3 Lakes within a 12 hour time limit with our vehicles being used to transport you between the paddle sections. This challenge can be undertaken in either our fleet of sea kayaks or in our open canoes.

Option 2 - Paddle and mountain bike transport

3 Lakes Challenge - 12 hour timed event

This event is the same as option 1 but our mountain bikes are used to link the lake sections together rather than using road transport. This is a more challenging event physically!

Option 3 - 2 Day Multi Activity Challenge

2 Day Challenge involving not only the 3 lakes challenge but a number of other outdoor activities following an exciting route to link together the lake sections. Other activities include a mountain scramble and ascending to Helvellyn summit, undertaking a mountain bike section, a high abseil and an orienteering course on mountain bikes.

The maximum number of people for the above events are:

Using Sea Kayaks - 16

Using Open Canoes - 24
