Are you planning a holiday in the Lake District and fancy a challenge?
If so, you might consider entering an extravaganza that will see teams scale all the mountains measuring more than 2,000 ft in the area.
The 40 peaks to choose from include farmed fells visited by writer Alfred Wainwright, Bassenthwaite Reflections reveals.
But you needn’t be an expert hiker to join take up this exciting challenge, as Martin Varley, head of the Heritage Lottery Fund-supported body, explains families are more than welcome to join the four-day grand finale festival.
Held in September, the event will see entrants choose their peak and begin the fundraising ascent.
"We are going to need around 150 contenders. Naturally there will be a Reflections’ team and we want plenty of others to pick up the gauntlet and join us," Mr Varley says.
If you reckon this is the ideal way to top off your Lake District holiday, why not enter?
Those who prefer to remain on level ground could take a stroll on the Keswick Railway Path, which is also ideal for cyclists.
