The Lake District pt2
This is the Backpacker’s Hut at the campsite – somewhere to cook and eat out of the weather.
There’s a stone circle on the site.
Another sunset in the Lake District.

Camping
The Lake District pt1
We got to Kendal at about 3pm – a bit late for a cooked breakfast – but fine for a homemade cheese scone and tea.
We are camping at the Windermere Camping and Caravan Club site – which is between Kendal and Windermere. We got the tents up – and then had a short walk to catch some of the colours in the sky.
We cooked and ate our dinner in the Backpackers Hut and whilst in there there was a hail downpour.
Dinner noodles with smoked sausage and fresh tomatoes with tomato and chilli sauce.

Old Man of Coniston pt3 – Sunday
I set my alarm for the sunrise – but when I looked out it was cloudy and misty – so I went back to bed and brewed some coffee.
The way back

Old Man of Coniston pt2 – Saturday Evening
Sunset and Wild Camping
Our plan for the weekend is to spend the night up on the tops, so we can get some sunset and sunrise photographs – as well as to enjoy camping away from a commercial site.
Once we got to the top – we made some tea, took some photos and waited for the other people on the summit to leave and for the sun to set.

Thanks to CheapTents.com, don’t let the name put you off. They supplied my MSR Hubba tent, footprint and gear loft and during the whole process their customer service was second to none. I would recommend them.
