Into Adventure Retreat

St Marks Stays and Into The Outside Retreat

27 – 30 September 2021 – moving to date tbc in 2022

Everyone deserves to try an adventure and this one includes mountain walking, rock climbing and ghyll scrambling with adventure experts, Becki & Dan from Into The Outside.

We are thrilled to be working in collaboration with Into The Outside for our September, ‘Into Adventure Stays’ retreat. Specialising in bespoke outdoor adventures, Dan and Becki are an awesome team who we are so lucky to be working with and having been on adventures with them ourselves, we can personally confirm you are going to have a brilliant time when you secure your place on this retreat.

About Into The Outside

Dan & Becki created Into The Outside in 2015 deciding to combine their experience in the great outdoors and channel that passion into offering personal, genuine and unforgettable adventures in the wild landscapes of the Lake District & Howgills.

Responsible adventure tourism is at the heart of everything they do. With their decades of Cumbrian exploration, we are excited to be working with them to make the trip of a lifetime for you.

Evenings can be spent as a group reminiscing about the day or planning the next day ahead over dinner and a drink around the fire pit at St Marks Stays watching the sun set over the Howgill Fells.

The itinery is a guide, and the precise activities and locations will be determined during the stay to suit the weather conditions and experience of the group. Weather in Cumbria is unpredictable and is part of the beauty of the environment. Activities therefore may need to be tailored to suit extreme weather at the time of the event for safety reasons.

All specialist equipment will be provided by Into The Outside (safety equipment, wet suits etc) and a full kit list of what you need to bring will be sent to you.

Activities will be suitable for all abilities and experience, although a relative level of fitness will be required. Dan and Becki are great at working with the capabilities of the group to make sure everyone gets the most out of the activities for a memorable experience.

Transport from St Marks Stays to activity locations will be by individual participants cars. We will of course encourage car sharing as much as possible which we will liaise on the first evening. All activities will be within an approximate hours drive of St Marks Stays.

If you need to cancel at any point after a 48 hour cooling off period, we are unable to offer refunds of payments made to date due to the nature of the event. Should we fill your place however, we will of course refund at our discretion.

Should the event not be able to go ahead due to Covid related restrictions then full refunds will be provided.

How others felt about ghyll scrambling

“Totally out of my comfort zone and something I wouldn’t normally do… but loved every minute of it and with Becki & Dan’s encouragement, I nailed all the jumps which I didn’t think I could have done.”

“Such a fab day out and what an adrenaline rush!!!!”
