Phil Burns | Acklam RFC | Lake District Tour
The northwest of England plays host
to the country9s most spectacular
playground 3 the Lake District.
Stretching across nearly 1000 square
miles of beautiful rolling countryside,
the Lake District is a fun-olled and
action packed tour destination. The
Cumbrian national park is a fantastic
touring destination for groups of all
sizes, ages, abilities and disciplines 3
10 million visitors every year cannot
be wrong.
Combining a couple of games
against
some
traditional
and
properly amateur Rugby Clubs with
a busy schedule of outward bound,
team building or white knuckle
activity, will make for an exceptional
tour
that
will
make
serious
memories.
Rugby in North West England is also
very strong with some exceptional
sides to host your tour oxtures with
Carlisle RUFC, Kendal Hornets RUFC
and Kirby Lonsdale all hosting for us
in the past.
The Lake District offers visitors a
range of activities, from bird
watching, lake cruises and gentle
strolls, to mountain biking, water
sports, bush craft, team building,
caving, pot-holing and hiking.
The Lake District is an ideal
destination to introduce your
younger age groups to touring.
The small towns, wide range of
activities and friendly rural clubs
make it an ideal way to dip your
toe into touring.
For those departing the North
East, Yorkshire & Lancashire, a
short journey can be coupled with
a 1-night stay to gently ease the
younger members into travelling
away.
