Due to the weather forecast the walk is cancelled.
We plan to do a clothing-optional walk from the hamlet of Mungrisdale (near Penrith, CA11 0XR). We will climb Bowscale Fell, then descend via Bowscale Tarn to Bowscale and back to Mungrisdale.
The walk will be about 6.5 miles with about 1,700 feet of ascent. I estimate it would take about 3.5 hours walking plus about half an hour for stops eg lunch.
The walk is on typical Lake District terrain, with a bit of road walking, grassy paths, some stony, rocky paths, and potentially boggy areas.
Please bear in mind that this is quite a challenging walk if you're not used to walking in the area, with significant climbs and descents. In the past people have turned back on similar walks due to the amount of climbing or the rough terrain!
Lake District weather is very changeable and what might look like a nice warm day at the start could be very different on the summits. Although we hope to walk naked for some of the walk you should bring warm and waterproof clothing, and suitable footwear (unless you are a bare footer).

Event details

Bristol Naked Swim meets every Tuesday at Jubilee Pool, Jubilee Road, Knowle, Bristol BS4 2LP from 8pm to 9pm.
Everyone is welcome to swim and chat!!
The cost is £10 (£9 for members of Bristol Naked Swim) per person, payable in cash.
We do appreciate that the first visit to a naturist swimming or sauna session can be a bit daunting for some. Therefore, to make it easier for those that feel this way to try naked swimming, for the first two visits, it is "Costume's Optional". That's swimming costumes or bikini's optional.
If you are new to the swim, please contact us in advance by email to terry.lane@bn.org.uk or andrew.dyer@bn.org.uk.
