# Event Details - **Event Name**: BMC Hill Walking: Special Deer Rutting Walk, Lake District - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 09 Oct, 2026 at 05:00 am – Fri, 09 Oct, 2026 at 11:30 am (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Martindale Red Deer Rutting Walk - Special dawn walkAbout this EventYou are invited to join a peer led walk hosted by BMC volunteer Walk Leader, Nicola Merrett. This social walk may end with a journey on the Ullswater Steamers from Howtown to Glenridding (Subject to wind speeds). Steamer fair is payable - £11.50. The Steamers will not run in very windy conditions and the hike will be adapted accordingly. From Howtown we will weave our way up into the secret valley of Martindale, listening and watching the red deer in full voice. Our route will take us back over Bedafell, and past Angle Tarn along lesser walked paths, and returning steeply to Glenridding.We’re excited to welcome you for a memorable day in the outdoors!Meet the LeaderNicky Merrett founded "Hiking Highs" and formerly "Nics Nordic Walks" in 2015, to deliver guided walking breaks, inspire folk in the Lake District Mountains and share her passion for the hills. Nicky lives at the foot of Helvellyn, and the Helvellyn Massif is her playground all year round. Using poles in the fells and teaching their magic is Nicky's passion, alongside Navigation, to those keen to develop their skills in the hills. As an accomplished Nordic Walking Coach for hiking and distance events, Nicky found her clients were keen to explore the higher fells, so took the next step to qualify as a Mountain Leader in 2018. She found herself being inspired by her clients, pushing their boundaries and giving an all-round uplifting experience to all who walk with her. This has also led to inspiring folk to lose the fear of being 'lost' and gain confidence in map reading.Walk DetailsWalk Grading: Moderate to ChallengingDistance: Approx 12 km (7.5 miles)Ascent: 600 m (1900 ft)Duration: Approximately 6 hoursIf you or anyone in your party can’t attend after booking, please let us know so we can offer the place to othersMeeting DetailsTime: Friday 9th October, 05:00am for a 05:30am startLocation: Glenridding Steamer Pier, Penrith, CA11 0USOS Grid Ref: NY 3896 1693Google map pin: https://maps.app.goo.gl/XDmrSsrVUVxDzYH26Parking: Pay and displayPlease check out the BMC Liftshare serviceFacilities: NoneWhat to BringWe’ll cover a range of terrains, so please ensure you are well-prepared with appropriate gearFootwear: Sturdy, water-resistant hiking boots or hiking shoes with good gripClothing: Dress in layers, including waterproofs with taped seams and hood, as conditions can vary; bring a hat and gloves whatever the weather - these items are your emergency kit.
