The Triple Challenge
This fantastic Lake District adventure begins with the tough bike section up the hill and into Grizedale Forest – one of the area’s most famous mountain biking locations. You can guarantee you will be well tested on the forest tracks before descending back to Coniston.
Next up is the trek to the summit of the Old Man of Coniston, a classic Lake District Mountain, where you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of Cumbria. The final section sees you challenge yourself to a circular kayak loop on Coniston Water before you finish this incredible challenge and celebrate your achievements!
