Difficulty Rating: Challenging

Sign up to walk under a blanket of stars and reach the summit of Scafell Pike (the highest peak in England!) in time for sunrise, all whilst fundraising to support the work of Shelter.

This is a bucket-list worthy experience where the aim is to reach the peak as dawn breaks and watch as the first light of the day creeps across the mountains and the sun edges over the horizon. It's a magical, unforgettable experience at a lofty 978m (3,209ft) with lots of opportunities to pause and take in the incredible views.


With a new perspective in daylight, the descent offers stunning outlooks to enjoy - over the Irish Sea, where the Isle of Man, Morecambe Bay and the whole of the Lake District is visible on a clear day.

By partaking in this experience, you also agree to set your own fundraising target and raise vital funds to support the work of Shelter across England, working to end homelessness. As a thank you, we will provide you with experienced and knowledgable guides, a kit list of essentials, the option to borrow equipment you may need, a Shelter bobble hat, a participant certificate and medal - as well as welcome hot drink on your return to base!

So lace up your boots, grab your cameras and get ready for a 6 hour experience like no other!

Frequently asked questions

Who can take part?

We ask that all participants are over the age of 18 and have a reasonable level of fitness. This hike is accessible but challenging, with steep inclines, rocky terrain and potential for adverse weather conditions.

What do I get for my registration fee?

Expert guides, an exclusive Shelter woollen hat to wear on the day, posters & QR codes to aid your fundraising, a detailed kit list, the option to borrow any equipment you may require, an online briefing prior to the event and a Scafell Pike certificate and medal.

How much sponsorship do I need to raise?

To make this event inclusive for everyone, we allow you set your own fundraising goal and ask you try to raise as much as you can. This is so that we can continue to fund our vital work to end homelessness. We'll give you fundraising ideas and materials to help make this as easy as possible.

Can I take part as a team?

Yes, of course! You can either register individually or provide your individual details when you sign up. You can create a JustGiving page for your team's fundraising but we ask that each team member actively fundraises and that your team’s goal reflects the combined efforts of all participants.
