OVERVIEW
LDM offers full adventures days for groups, families, stag & hen parties. These days are bespoke and tailored for your group.
We will supply the same instructor for the full day.
The day runs from 9:00am - 4:00pm and includes two activities, with a lunch break in between.
This day is based in the North Lakes, and is good for those staying close to Keswick, Bassenthwaite, Buttermere and their surrounding areas.
On the day, you will meet your instructor at Honister Slate Mine
Via Ferrata translate from Italian into English as 'The Iron Route'.
This activity is adopted from WW1 - when troops and munitions were moved around the mountainside using ladders and cables.
Today, Via Ferrata is a recreation and allows climbers and non climbers alike to explore these high mountain cliffs, whilst always being attached to a safety cable.
After lunch, the instructor will take you climbing in Borrowdale
There is a change in location for this - we will supply a meeting location for the afternoon, or you can follow the instructor to the next venue.
Your instructor will set up top rope systems for you to climb the wall, and be lowered back down once at the top. This is a safe and fun method to discover climbing. The difficulty can be tailored specific to the level of the group as all the climbs are rigged by the instructors on site.
During the session it may be possible to learn some new skills such as belaying, tying in and abseiling.
The experience can be tailored to the group, allowing for easier and harder variations depending on age and ability levels.
