Last chance to join us for our expedition to the summit of Blencathra to witness the sun rise on the summer solstice early on Sunday 21 June. If it is clear we will see the sun rise from behind the Pennines to the East from the stunning ridges of Blencathra (aka Saddleback).

Last weekend’s client loved discovering the secrets of Bamford moor including the Moscar Stone. The stone is a boundary stone and way marker which has recently been deleted from the OS Map and so seems destined to become even more secret. We go again on Sunday 7th June with a tour of the Edale Skyline (all or part). Why not join us? See Upcoming Events page at www.opengatesoutdoors.co.uk
As well as a great day out you would be supporting our activities in the community.

A magic day completing the Welsh 3000s. It’s a very special route with the aim of completing a south to north traverse of the 15 mountains in the Eryri (Snowdon) range with an altitude over 3,000 feet in a time of less than 12 hours. We had unusually bright and dry conditions but a strong easterly wind made for challenging going. Why not contact Open Gates Outdoors if you would like to be supported to enjoy this unique challenge….
