Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Briefly the challenge takes place over the 3 days 12th to 14th June 2015. We expect around 20 participants and the route is as follows. Day 1 has us starting from Calvert Trust centre on Bassenthwaite then it is up over Skiddaw down and  across the valley and then up and along the Helvellyn range before dropping down to Wythburn and staying in Grasmere YHA. Day 2 starting from Wythburn 'romping' over High Raise across the Scafells and down to Wasdale to stay at the YHA there. On day 3 it is straight up  Great Gable along the ridge over Brandreth and Grey Knotts to Honister Pass up over High Spy and then down over Cat Bells finishing at the Moot Hall in Keswick. I expect to arrive pretty tired and a good deal lighter!!

Calvert Trust does a fantastic job providing opportunities for the disabled to do outdoor activities that they could never imagine being able to do. Visit the website to learn more www.calvert-trust.org.uk/lakedistrict and please support us.

About the charity

The Lake District Calvert Trust provides residential outdoor activity courses for people of all ages with physical, sensory, learning, behavioural and/or mental disabilities. Its mission is to challenge disability through outdoor adventure. Pioneering equipment adaptations, and intensive, instructor-led activity programmes (that include climbing, abseiling, canoeing, sailing, horse/trap driving, archery, orienteering and paragliding), provide an environment whose aims are to teach, challenge, motivate, engender confidence in ability, promote independence, and foster integration. All instructors are highly trained and specialist qualified, and the facilities are specially adapted and fully accessible to all. The Lake District Calvert Trust provides a unique and life-changing experience for those with disabilities, who are encouraged to believe that it’s what you CAN do that counts.
