Join us for our second ‘Coniston Bothy Weekend’ on July 10-13 in the Lakes

Held over the weekend of 10-13 July, the weekend is a chance to enjoy one of the Lake District’s very best areas, whether it’s hiking to the summit of the Old Man of Coniston, swimming or paddle-boarding on Coniston Water, or exploring the Copper Mine trails near to the mountain hut where we’re staying.

Places on the weekend cost just £135pp, and include dorm accommodation, delicious home-cooked meals all weekend, and evening entertainment including talks, films and quizzes! 

What’s included: 

Accommodation:
The Yorkshire Mountaineering Hut (3 Coppermines Cottages, Coniston LA21 8HP) is an old miners cottage in Copper Mines Valley just one mile from Coniston village, at the foot of Old Man of Coniston with direct access to the surrounding hills. Your ticket includes three nights’ of shared accommodation in one of the bunk rooms. There are plenty of showers and toilets, a drying room, and a cozy fire to warm up by after a day out in the hills.

Delicious home-cooked food including pizza night and curry night

Activites:
Day: During the day you are free to go off and enjoy the local hills (we will have some maps available) or spend the day visiting Coniston (just a short car ride or 30 minute walk from the hut). The hut will be open at all times, so you are also welcome to stick around and relax in the hut.
