A fun hut to hut week, starting in the beautiful Borrowdale Valley and moving onto the also beautiful Langdale valley.

'There is no shortage of climbing crags in the Borrowdale area, Fine classic crags, Shepherds Crag, Black Crag, Eagle Crag, Gillercombe Buttress, to name a few. Routes of all grades to keep you content for many an hour. Walking from the hut can take you to some of the finest tops. The Scafells, Great Gable, Dale Head, Glaramara and many more. On those wet days, when you don’t feel like venturing onto the high tops, the walks from the hut are endless. While Langdale has the advantage of both high and low crags, many having a sunny aspect allowing climbing in all months of the year. Easily reached are Scout Crag, White Ghyll, Raven and Raven Walthwaite. Higher crags include Gimmer, Pavey Ark and Bowfell. There are also crags on Pike O’Blisco, the Crinkles and over in Easedale. The higher crags and gullies give winter climbing and mixed routes.' (courtesy FRCC website)

I’ve booked bedspaces at Salving House from Friday 22nd May 2026 till Monday 25^th May, when we will decamp and journey over in one way or another to Raw Head Barn till the 29^th May. (I'll try to offer flexibility for people to stay at either one or the other hut instead of the whole week if possible) 

We’ll hash out the details via Whatsapp (and email for non whatsappy folk).

Already looking forward to it and finding another excuse to keep in training!

See you there!
