About us
Cumbria Addictions: Advice and Solutions (CADAS) is a countywide charity offering support and guidance for all ages surrounding substance use and addictive behaviour. CADAS also provides therapeutic interventions to people with problematic dependencies, alongside supporting their families, carers and friends.
We work in partnership with a variety of other services (e.g. mental health and homelessness charities, statutory children services and local employers) to create packages of support for people that leads to more sustainable change.
Whilst we do work with people in recovery, a key part of our mission is to deliver preventative services. We deliver educational workshops in schools and youth clubs, to those working in the health and social care sector and to employers as part of our awareness raising remit.
As we work to reduce harmful addiction, we support members of the Cumbrian community across a range of problematic dependencies, from gambling to alcohol, social media to drugs and smoking to video gaming.
CADAS Scafell Pike & Lingmell Sunset Trek
Event date: Saturday 2nd July 2022
Help raise funds for CADAS - Cumbria Alcohol and Drugs Advisory Service, by taking part in this Charity Challenge Event
Distance: 10km / 6mile
Walking Time: 5-7 hours
Difficulty Level: 4 out of 5
Minimum Sponsorship: £100
Watch the sun set on this classic hike up England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike at 978m, 3208ft. This hike will also take in the additional peak of Lingmell (807m, 2648ft).
Setting off at 7pm, approximately 3 hours before sunset, the start point is Wasdale Green close to the Wasdale Head Inn. From here we take in Lingmell first. The views back over the Wasdale Valley from the Lingmell ascent really are to be treasured. We then cross down to Lingmell coll before the final push up to Scafell Pike summit.
Then it is photo/ selfie time on the large summit cairn platform. Coming up from Wasdale on the West side of the Lakes means that we get the full ‘wow factor’ of the sunset (subject to weather of course!) The descent will take us on the more direct route back through Hollow Stones.
