Windermere to Penrith wild camp

Caught the train to Windermere then a quick bus to Ambleside.

We then took 3 days to walk to Penrith train station and train back home.

The walk involved a stay in the cave priests hole and then a brilliant wild camp spot in an old abandoned mine. See maps

GPX file for my recent Howgills walk.

Howgills. Sedbergh to Kirkby Stephen using the Settle to Carlisle train.

Had planned to wild camp the Howgills this weekend, however, remembered it was my wedding anniversary so it was just a reccy.  Stunning scenery and best of all no one around at all. Lots of opportunities to camp on the higher hills or descend in to a gully  and get out of the wind. Pictures and gpx to follow.

Helvellyn wild camp

Diesel being £1.20 per litre we decided to catch the train to Windermere and then a bus to Ambleside.

From Ambleside we walked up to Helvellyn. The wind was really strong so we dropped down to the woods below Helvellyn.

Quick Wild Camp after work

A quick wild camp after work above Glossop.

Unfortunately my new boots gave me terrible blisters and the walk had to be cut short and i limped back to the car early next morning.
