English Lake District, Hill Walking Holidays
1 - 8 & 8 - 15 September 2012
Based at Buttermere, in the heart of the ‘Western Fells’, this is VegiVentures 18th year in one of the most beautiful parts of England. The grounds of our guest house extend to the shores of Buttermere, starting point of many lake and mountain walks. Clean mountain air, pure water, excellent vegetarian/vegan food and safe hill walking led by our experienced Lakeland guide Heather Read, go to make these exceptional holidays. Hill, valley and lakeside walking are the main features. For early risers there is a stretch, breathing and movement class. There is also a wide choice of gentle activities in the region: visit Wordsworth's cottage at Grassmere, take a boat on Lake Windermere or Coniston, visit working watermills or do some relaxing shopping in Keswick.
On week one the walks are more gentle; this holiday is ideal for beginners and those who need to build up their fitness. Week two includes longer, medium-paced walks, venturing higher into the hills. On the final 2 - 3 days there will be the choice of a gentle walk or a higher more challenging walk led by Chris Bristow. These holidays are open to both the beginner and the more experienced mountain walker. The food is catered by Swiss-trained chef and founder of VegiVentures Nigel Walker.
