Overnight Camps

Upon arrival at an overnight camp, you’ll be welcomed in with a choice of complimentary cake and a hot drink (don’t forget you’ll need your mug to help us avoid using disposables).

Then, once you’re reunited with your dry bag (or simply find your tent if we’re at the same overnight camp for a second day), you can chill out.

All participants share the same overnight camp(s) to maximise camaraderie; queue plenty of discussions on the day’s courses and route choices, and of course ‘what course to start tomorrow’.

A typical GL3D overnight camp is usually rural rather than remote (think a farmer's field in a rural location) and portable toilets are provided. Please do not expect showers. Some overnight camps allow for participants to make use of the nearest river or lake for taking a dip in, which can be, er, very refreshing!

The participants’ Marquee

Available at each overnight camp, this communal marquee can be used by participants to hang-out in, eat and cook meals in (no hot stoves on plastic tables please!), and generally put the world to rights in. Info Point will also be located here.

The Hub Tent

We will be hosting some exciting talks in ‘The Hub’ tent.

At 8pm here, everyone is invited to partake in the day’s quiz with various giveaways (and there’s likely to be a Lake District-themed quiz).

sports massage therapists

Sports massage therapists will be on hand at the overnight camp(s):

£13 for a 15-20 minute massage.

First-come first-served, payment by cash only.

Food & Drink

We continue to increase the availability of carefully selected caterers at the overnight camp(s) who will be delighted to serve you delicious meals and treats. All caterers will serve a meat and fish free menu.

The bar at the overnight camp

We are delighted to be serving a selection of beer (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) at the overnight camp(s).

There will also be cider and a selection of soft drinks available.

We still recommend participants bring ‘a stove, sufficient fuel for the weekend + lighter/matches + sufficient personal food for two breakfast meals and two large evening meals’ as per kit requirements page. This is because the total availability of luxury catering additions at the overnight camp(s) cannot be absolutely guaranteed and we can’t have you going hungry!

In reality, you might strike a compromise of bringing some basic provisions to be self-sufficient, but leaving room to top-up with the delicious on-site catering options.
