Be More Ben Mountain Mission 2025

Back bigger and better with 95 adult places available, Be More Ben’s Mountain Mission 2025 is set to be an unbelievably rewarding challenge.

Taking the scenic route across some of the highest points of the beautiful Lake District National Park including Bowfell pike, Esk pike and summiting the highest mountain in England, Scarfell pike, standing well over 3,000 feet! A full days gruelling hike, walking the equivalent of a half marathon in the hills.

Each entry requires a non-refundable £99* registration fee. This covers your costs, campsite pitches, food and travel to and from the Lake District from North Somerset. We also require a mimimum fundraising commitment of £500 from each participant. This event will raise money to support parents and families affected by the death of a child by providing ongoing therapeutic and peer-led support.

Get a team together or set yourself a personal challenge and join us for a truly fantastic weekend – 4th to the 6th July 2025. 

Every journey begins with a single step.

* Registration fee is non-refundable. Over 18’s only. (An additional fee of £8.96 will be added to your registration to cover Eventbrite costs enabling us to raise more money for Be More Ben).
