Via Ferrata Extreme from Buttermere

Special extreme elements include overhang descents, a Burma Bridge, and a daring sky ladder. You won't be disappointed.

The Via Ferrata Extreme takes around 3 hours but is very tiring so we feel the accommodation provided is essential. There are plenty of other options available to fill your weekend up like Canyoning and the Infinity Bridge or on Sunday you can join other members of the group for a mountain walk in the area.

Our imposing accommodation is quite amazing as well. Built as a hotel in Victorian times by a then well known historian and author who had written books about local resistance to the Normans in the 12th Century, it became a YHA in 1956 but remains much grander than most other hostel venues we stay in. You can't fail to be impressed!

Friday arrival at our accommodation is from anytime after 6pm

We shall be rustling up a delicious hot meal for Friday night with vegetarian option and poached salmon alternative so no need to eat on the way and although we'll serve up about 8pm, there'll be plenty kept for those arriving a little later. If you require a bevy or three don't forget to bring this with you as it's a long way to the offy!

Help yourself breakfasts and lunch packups are provided as is hot food Friday and Saturdays night but feel free to bring desserts, cakes and other goodies to share as well as your own drinks. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Accommodation is single sex bunk rooms of a variety of sizes with full bedding provided but not towels.

If choosing to travel by public transport the nearest mainline stations are Kendall, Penrith or Windermere and we could pick you up from one of those by prior arrangement. There is also a regular bus service from Keswick.
