The brand brings together outdoor obsessives in Borrowdale for workshops, walking, and more

Last month, Montbell’s first Lake to Fell event took place in Borrowdale and brought over 100 outdoor obsessives up to the Lakes for a weekend loosely focused on encouraging attendees to spend more time noticing what’s around them and less chasing goals.

Highlights included Nature Sessions hosted by outdoor industry oracle Jeff Bowman (you can read our interview with him here), Miscellaneous Adventures, Rika Suzuki, CHA-OLOGY, and nanafrank. They covered everything from drawing in the valley to natural dyeing and Japanese tea ceremonies. Then sake, a barrel smashing, and a Japanese dinner from Forest Food Studio around the fire.

The next morning, our Hannah was in the first wave out on Derwentwater as the mist cleared, flag in hand for Montbell across the Fells.
