Some nearby peaks which might feature on the trip are Seatallon, Pillar, High Stile, Kirk Fell and Great Gable. About the Lake District:The Lake District was born as an archipelago of volcanic islands in a shallow tropical sea. Over the ages, the continent carrying these islands drifted northwards, then collided with another continent. This lifted the remains of the volcanic rock into highlands, forming the mountains we see today.
