K Fellfarers

K Fellfarers welcomes walkers, climbers, mountaineers, and anyone who loves the outdoors. All standards are welcome .
We meet socially in the Riflemans Arms in Kendal on the first Tuesday of each month after 9pm, have our own bunkhouse - High House - in Seathwaite, Borrowdale, and hold regular indoor and outdoor events throughout the year - see the Social Calendar.
As a member you will receive every three months a 20+ page club magazine called the Fellfarer. This will update you on recent meets and events, the forthcoming social calendar, and occasional extracts from the past activities of the club.
As one of the longest established outdoor clubs in the Lakes (we were 75 years old in 2009) , we have a great pedigree, that includes strong local links with formative people like Howard Somervell, Sid Cross, and Jim Duff.
