We're looking forward to an exciting event on Thursday 18th June held at Páramo Directional Clothing in partnership with Kendal Mountain Festival to raise funds for our very own Lake District Calvert Trust.

This intimate screening will show a carefully curated collection of film clips alongside the chance to meet and chat with adventure industry experts, competitors and suppliers. Hosted above the Páramo shop in Keswick, there will be a raffle in aid of Calvert Lakes and the chance to win exclusive prizes. We can't wait!

Thanks to KMF and Páramo for choosing to support our life-changing adventures.

This is Cheryl. She's hopped on her brand new cargo bike to arrive at the Le Tour de France themed Cumbria Tourism AGM today.

We were excited to talk all things cycling and discuss plans for the Tour De France Grand Départ 2027 Stage 2 start from our very own Keswick!

It's fair to say that no one else dressed quite as on-theme, which is why she won a prize - we couldn't help but share! Well done, Cheryl 💪

We LOVED our wellbeing walk yesterday at Dubwath Silver Meadows Wetland Nature Reserve - thanks to Lindy for organising! The team enjoyed time to slow down, learn about plants and wildlife, and connect with nature.

Although our instructors often bring our guests here, many of us hadn't visited before and were blown away by the natural beauty of this stunning secret spot.

It's accessible for wheelchairs, prams and walking aids, with short trails, boarded sections and plenty of places to shelter from the rain - which it did, a lot, in between bouts of warm sunshine and blue skies. Just another summer's day in the Lakes!

We came back to site refreshed and relaxed, and can't wait to see what the Wellbeing team has up it's sleeves next!

🥾Seeking walking boot donations in large sizes 🥾

Do you have any spare walking boots you'd be happy to donate to Calvert Lakes? We're often asked by guests if we have any boots they can borrow and while we have a small stock, we don't have many larger sizes.

We're ideally looking for walking boots in good used condition in adult sizes 6+

Feel free to drop your donations into Calvert Lakes reception, or call or email us to see if we can arrange local collection.

Thanks!

Happy World Cycling Day!

Cycling looks different for everyone and that’s something worth celebrating.

By offering a range of adapted and accessible cycles, we help people of all ages and abilities experience the freedom and sensation of movement in a way that works for them.

From handbikes to trikes, and side-by-side rides to family cycles, inclusive cycling builds confidence, encourages independence and brings joy to anyone who gets a thrill from movement and sensation.

If you're interested in a weekend of cycling with Calvert Lakes, check out our Cycling Experience weekends - https://calvertlakes.org.uk/experience/

Visitors to the Calvert boathouse will likely remember our big pink duck, which featured in many of our lake games.

Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our old friend recently BUT one of our amazing guests sent us a BRAND NEW DUCK!

A whopping great THANK YOU to Lesley from all the instructors. Come back soon to see our new toy in action 💛
