Give your dad the ULTIMATE Father's Day Challenge

Don't bother with a pair of socks or another lurid tie, treat your dad to the ultimate adventure experience this Father's Day, Sunday 21 June 2015, with an awesome adrenaline challenge up the side of an iconic Lake District Mountain.

Via Ferrata Xtreme is sure to take your dad's breath away. Twice as high as The Shard and nine times higher than The Big One Rollercoaster, it allows daring dads to climb up where eagles fly. With no previous climbing experience needed, this special outdoor adventure at Honister Slate Mine near Keswick gives the real sensation of being on an exposed rock face while safely secured to the mountain by a cable at all times.

All set at the head of the majestic Honister pass – one of the steepest roads in Britain - it's the perfect setting for participants to pit themselves against nature and conquer the seemingly impossible

As well as using a series of cables, rungs and cliff-edge ladders to make their way towards the summit ridge of the mighty Fleetwith Pike, doting dads will reach new heights with a Burma Bridge suspended more than 2,000 feet above the valley floor – the longest bridge of its type in Britain.

And if that doesn't get their adrenaline pumping, then the awe-inspiring views just might. The finale culminates in a spectacular panorama of three lakes; Buttermere, Crummock and Loweswater.

So help your father face their fears and become a hero for the day… For a heady mix of action and adventure on Ferrata Xtreme, adults cost £39.50 while children aged 10-15 are £29.50.  www.honister.com
