Happy Birthday Alfred WainwrightA man who shaped Happy Birthday Alfred WainwrightA man who shaped how we see and walk the Lake District, with a legacy deeply rooted in the Langdale Valley.His love for the fells lives on in every path explored and every quiet moment enjoyed.At Elterwater Hostel, we’re proud to be part of the landscape he inspired so many to cherish.
Cold, snowy days here in the valley but that hasn’t stopped us cracking on with a big project behind the scenes.
Lots of hard work happening despite the weather and it’ll all be worth it.
Keep an eye out for updates coming soon…
A new completion of the Elterwater Hostel Challeng A new completion of the Elterwater Hostel Challenge 23 before tea was logged just before the end of the year.Carlisle-based Adam Armata returned after being beaten by the weather last winter , this time though everything clicked.Running solo and unsupported, he chose a longer, less conventional 60km route with 4,500m of ascent, echoing the original spirit of the challenge.he said “his wasn’t about records., it was about adventure: sunrise on the first summit, icy descents, winter light, and even a head torch detour into Rydal Cave  because why rush a perfect day in the hills? 11 hours 58 minutes. No shortcuts. Just mountains, patience, and joy”.If you’ve ever thought about giving a winter round a go, take this as your sign. choose your day, respect the conditions, move at your own pace and savour every moment out there, and dont forget to knock on the hostels door and get your cup of tea when you finish!
