Description

Join us for this fun and exciting Via Ferrata adventure, climbing up Honister Pass in England’s superbly scenic Lake District!

No prior experience is necessary to enjoy this half-day adventure, making this the perfect activity for both family and friends. However, all participants must be fit enough to climb for at least three hours.

Depending on how daring you are, we have two routes: the classic and extreme. The classic route more or less follows the old miner’s incline. After crossing through a portion of the old Honister Slate Mine, we arrive at the Via Ferrata.

Using lanyards, we will clip to the steel cable that runs all the way up to the top. The route starts out very easy to give you a taste of the activity before getting progressively steeper.

The extreme route begins along the classic one, before taking a daring twist. After ascending, you will cross the Burma Bridge, which takes you 2,000 feet above the valley floor! After crossing this wire bridge, you will then make another steep climb up a Via Ferrata, before reaching the summit of Fleetwith Pike.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this family-friendly Via Ferrata adventure in England’s Lake District!

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
