Welcome to Kendal Fellwalkers Web site!

Welcome to the Kendal Fellwalkers web page. We are a small walking club based around the English town of Kendal in Cumbria, but have a membership from a broader area. We cater for walkers who want to walk in the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks and surrounding areas. We are a local club run by and for members therefore unfortunately we do not cater for visitors holidaying in the Lake District, however there is a member who is a Mountain Walking Guide, please see link on the Links page.

As our walking parties are relatively small, average of about 6-10 people, we do not have a formal transport arrangement. Those members interested in undertaking a walk for that week simply meet at County Council Offices in Kendal to share lifts/cars or meet at the walk's starting point.

Our walks are somewhat more demanding than some other walking clubs, so care has to be taken when appreciating the experience level demanded by one of our walks. The walks would not normally be undertaken by someone unfamiliar with walking in mountains. Each walk has a grade that loosely identifies its level of difficulty. These are –

A+ - Very strenuous and fast; usually long distances with a significant amount of ascent.

A - A brisk pace; between 14 and 20 miles, but occasionally greater. The total ascent may be over 5,000 feet.

B - A steady pace; usually between 10 and 14 miles. The total ascent is typically between 3,500 feet and 4,500 feet.

C - A moderate pace; usually less than 10 miles. The total ascent is typically up to 3,500 feet.

 If interested in joining one of our walks please speak to our membership secretary prior to the walk.

Programme Changes

1. As Ken Taylor is unable to lead his walk on 3rd August, he is sorry that there will not now be the option to go up Broad Stand.
We will instead use the Foxes Tarn path between Scafell Pike and Scafell; all other details of the walk remain the same. Ken hopes to give us all the opportunity to go up Broad Stand next year.

2. Following the cancellation of the weekend in Derbyshire, there will now be an additional walk, alongside John Hart's"B" walk from Sadgill on 7th September. Janet and Derek are proposing an "A" walk from the church at Longsleddale (GR 502029), returning, as the "B" walk, by Harter Fell and Tarn Crag (19 miles, 5614 ft).
