We were lucky to be able to Carlisle United’s pre-season training regime this week.
The two-day package kicked off with a testing and slightly different approach to orienteering as the lads were split into four and five-man teams before taking to kayaks, lashed together by rope, to row their way to seven markers hidden on the banks around the length and breadth of Coniston.
Organised by Adventure 21, outdoor pursuits and adventure training specialists, the activity was designed to test teamwork, stamina and communication with a team leader selected at random and given a briefing, before then having to pass on the instructions to his boat buddies prior to them taking to the water on their map reading excursion.
Wednesday night saw the team return to Lanehead for more team bonding activities, with a bright and early start on Thursday morning of circuit training, and a walk up the Old Man of Coniston.
We wish them all the best for next season!
Here are a few of the latest 5 star review feedback posts from users of Lanehead:
- “Very Clean & Beautiful house”
- “Great location and accommodation for a big get together. We definitely plan to return. Lanehead is situated above Lake Coniston with beautiful views across the water to the hills behind. Lovely warm, clean house with plenty of space to cook, eat, relax and sleep (we were a group of 26 / 7 families and it was perfect for our needs.”
- “Great facilities, fantastic view and very comfortable beds!”

Coniston Water has never looked better especially with a backdrop of the Old Man of Coniston. The weather pattern that first started with the Beast from the East this winter has proved to be a boom for the Lakes. Sheltered from the easterly breezes we are enjoying a sunny and warm start to summer. The surrounding countryside has burst into bloom. Even the summer meadows have been harvested early.
With no significant rain for the past month, Coniston Water has developed a perimeter beach providing the perfect base for families cooling off around the lake. Speaking of which we recently we hosted Chelsea from LakeSUP who came down and taught a group of guests how to paddle board. A fantastic way to tour the shoreline of Coniston and perhaps drop in at the Bluebird Cafe for lunch. Long may the current balmy weather continue !
