We will set off in the saddle from the event base in Keswick for a 40-mile bike ride around the beautiful winding roads sure to warm up the legs and get the heart pounding. We will be cycling among some of the highest mountains in the UK, Skiddaw dominates the skyline!

The 10.5 mile round trip begins with a steep walk up to Latrigg, a small hill on the outskirts of Keswick. From here the slopes get steeper as the path zig-zags upwards. Before long we will be standing on the summit of Skiddaw which has an altitude of 931m.

Finally, its Lifejackets on, it's time to get on the water. In open-top canoes or kayaks, your team will navigate a 2-mile water course off the shores of Derwentwater nestled in the glorious Lake District National Park.
