Take Part in Happiness Hike For Hospice

Hospice Isle of Man is inviting supporters to lace up their walking boots for an unforgettable adventure, the Happiness Hike.

The Lake District 6 Lakes Challenge will take place from September 8 to 13 next year.

Following the success of the inaugural Happiness Hike earlier this year, this will be the second annual challenge, offering participants another chance to combine adventure with a meaningful cause.

Happiness Hike

This five-night guided walking holiday offers the perfect balance of exploration, activity, and purpose.

Participants will stay in one comfortable, centrally located hotel and spend four days discovering six of the Lake District’s most stunning lakes.

Led by expert guide Ken from Walking.im, the challenge includes approximately 35 miles of manageable walking and a total ascent of around 3,200 feet, making it a relaxing walk and within the capability of most.

Each day brings new scenery and experiences, from panoramic viewpoints and charming villages to cultural highlights such as Wordsworth’s heritage sites, Hill Top Farm, and the Honister Slate Mine.

“The Happiness Hike is a wonderful opportunity to combine adventure, friendship, and purpose,” added Susan Gibson, Donor Engagement Executive at Hospice Isle of Man. 

“We’re thrilled to offer this experience again following the success of the first hike, and we hope even more people will join us this September.”
