Welcome to
Kendal Fellwalkers Web site!
Welcome to the Kendal Fellwalkers web page. We
are a small walking club based around the English town of Kendal in Cumbria,
but have a membership from a broader area. We cater for walkers who want to
walk in the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales
National Parks and surrounding areas.
We are a local club run by and for members therefore
unfortunately we do not cater for visitors holidaying in the Lake
District.
As
our walking parties are relatively small, average of about 10-20 people,
we do not have a formal transport arrangement. Those members interested in
undertaking a walk for that week simply meet at 8.30am by
the County Council Offices in
Kendal to share lifts/cars or meet at the walk's
starting point.
Our walks are somewhat more demanding
than some other walking clubs, so care
has to be taken when appreciating the experience level demanded by one of
our walks. The walks would not normally be undertaken by someone unfamiliar
with walking in mountains. Each walk has a grade that loosely identifies its
level of difficulty. These are –
A - A brisk pace; between
14 and 20 miles, but occasionally greater. The total ascent may be over
5,000 feet.
B - A steady pace;
usually between 10 and 14 miles. The total ascent is typically between 3,500
feet and 4,500 feet.
C - A moderate pace; usually
less than 10 miles. The total ascent is typically up to 3,500 feet.
A** - These walks include some
activity which is outside the remit of normal walking (Grade 2 scrambles /
icy ridges / snow gullies etc.).
If interested in
joining one of our walks please speak to our membership secretary prior to
the walk.
