    Day 1: The Old Man Of Coniston
    One of the most famous and popular mountains in the Lake District, another popular connection is the link between the Old Man and Arthur Ransome's Swallows And Amazons books, where The Coniston Old Man was known by the children as Kanchenjunga.

    Day 2: Scafell Pike
    Scafell Pike, the highest peak in England and by far our most popular route. We probably climb Scafell Pike more than almost anyone else so why not take advantage of this experience and let us take you up the pick of the routes.

    Day 3: Helvellyn
    One of the most spectacular mountaineering routes in England, the third higest mountain in England is steeped in history.
