Walkers Campsites

Google Map of Campsites

Walkers campsites are set up for walkers and tend to offer minimal facilities with no fuss at low cost.

Wild camps are an awesome way to see the countryside and enjoy some amazing sunsets and sunrises as well as wild life and nature at its best all for free. However care must be taken to pitch tents late and strike camp early and like all good camping, there should be no sign you where ever there.

Best Route up Helvellyn

Google Route Map

This is a day walk and requires correct equipment and adequate experience due to exposure.

The edges are great fun but do require a cool head. Striding edge is particular exposed.

Only problem with this walk is the lack of a good pub in Glenridding however there is an excellent beer shop and the Star Inn at Pooley Bridge is just a short car ride away.
