Jan 17th - 24th: Open house week

 Tue Nov 25th – Sun Nov 30th 2025
Glenridding, Lake District. Accommodation at Almond Lodge: Helvellyn
£35 (*suggested) per day includes accommodation + Cooperative evening meal

*Too much? Pay what you can afford – this is about community not profit making! 

The idea here is it’s an open house – you can come for the week or just a day – or whatever. Come alone or in a group. It’s flexible, its accessible, it’s an impromptu meeting of like minded people who want to enjoy the trails, share experiences and knowledge and have some fun

We ran our first open house in June 24, then repeated June 25 both in the Brecon Beacons – they both worked well – so now we are repeating in the Lake District
