Ski Club of Manchester, May Walks Weekend 2025

This page will be updated as events are confirmed for the weekend schedule. Last update Saturday, March 1, 2025.

The May 2025 organised walks will be on Saturday and Sunday 17th & 18th. The two walks proposed for the weekend are iconic rounds to the West and Southwest of Keswick. Both are challenging but the descriptions include a possible alternative in each case that any walkers who would like to cut the walk short may wish to take. Any walkers leaving the main group should be competent to navigate themselves safely back.

Many club members will be staying at The Ruddings in Braithwaite. There are other accommodation options nearby, for example The Coledale Inn and The Royal Oak as well as a couple of campsites.

Some members will be arriving on Friday the 16th and staying three nights.

Anyone wishing to join a group for dinner at The Ruddings on Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening should let Steve Wardle know (even if a resident) by May 2nd by email.

If you intend to stay in or near Braithwaite for that weekend early booking is strongly recommended.
