After
months of lockdown, the call of the open road is louder
than ever – and we’ve got just the thing that makes its rallying
cry impossible to ignore.

To celebrate our long-awaited freedom, we’ve teamed up with
Volvo to
give one lucky SUITCASE reader and a friend the chance to win a
long weekend packed with adventure and arts in the Lake District –
including a hotel stay, festival tickets and the use of an
award-winning Volvo SUV courtesy of our Scandi friends.


It’s the biggest social event for outdoor enthusiasts around the
world, so you’ll rub shoulders with some of the most intrepid
explorers out there – from cave rescue divers to paraclimbers. Want
a piece of the action? Join fellow festival goers on a 10k trail
run around Kendal.

Yep, you’ll be in the driver’s seat of a brand-new Volvo
Recharge Plug-in hybrid SUV, a sustainably luxurious, not to
mention safe, set of wheels for navigating the peaks and troughs of
England’s biggest national park, headed to the much-lauded Kendal
Mountain Festival (19-22 November).



But if you’re more of a spectator, not to worry. Settle in for
an indie film that will transport you from the surf spots of
British Columbia to backcountry Greenland. These guys also put on a
brilliant arts offering in which they celebrate the relationship
between people and landscapes through spoken-word, poetry,
photography and illustration. Ultimately, be you a creative type or
extreme-sports enthusiast, it’s all about community and connecting
people.

You’ll bed down in Castle Green, a Victorian
mansion-turned-hotel rooted in the Cumbrian landscape, from its
locavore menus to the woodpeckers that populate its 14 acres of
woodland. The spa is especially welcoming after days on the fells –
plus, there are charging points here so your Volvo can have a
little boost too.



Autumn is a great time to explore the Lakes, when the crowds of
summer are gone, forests are ablaze with colour and purple heather
carpets the hillside – and with this bumper prize, you can really
immerse yourself in nature. It’s time for a shift in gear.

To enter, share a picture of your favourite hidden gem on your
Instagram, tag and follow @SUITCASE, @volvocaruk, @thegentsjournal and use the hashtag #HiddenGem. We’ll
pick our favourite.
