Recce Days

Join the NAV4 Team to preview routes, brush up on hill skills and have a great day in the hills! Check below to see if we offer recce options for your next big event.

RECCE DAYS: LAKES IN A DAY

The event itself is 50 miles and 4000m ascent - A brilliant day out organised by our friends at durtyevents.com that will take you from the very top of the Lake District at Caldbeck to the very bottom, at Cartmel, via the stunning Helvellyn Ridge and the western shoreline of Lake Windermere. It might not be the easiest traverse but it will be the most spectacular!

There are four recce days planned over the coming months, each covering a section of the event route. These days are an excellent opportunity to get to know the route, get hints on the best line for you and to brush up on your navigation skills.

There are also two skills based sessions, one offering a half day on Hallsfell Ridge for those nervous of the terrain. The other is 'LiAD Skills on The Dodds' with an enhanced navigational and hillskills input.

Places are limited as the recce ratio of guide to participant is 1:8 maximum. Transport is provided from each finish point to the start prior to the recce.

Sat 24 Aug 24 Skills on The Dodds This is a new recce / skills day based from Threlkeld and going up Clough Head and Great Dodd.  We'll have more time to focus on all the skills you need to complete LiAD successfully, utilising the excellent navigational area of The Dodds and towards Sticks Pass.  Hence it completes the event recce chain.

Sun 25 Aug 24 Caldbeck to Threlkeld This day will be the same as 11th May, we offer a second day due to demand, plus you can make a weekend of it with Saturday's 'LiAD: Skills on The Dodds'.

Mon 26 Aug 24 Hallsfell Skills Sessions There are two sessions available on this day one in the morning and one in the afternoon.  These sessions are specifically aimed at those wishing to brush up on their skills over the challenging terrain of Hallsfell Ridge.  These sessions will start and finish in Threlkeld.
