Adee, this subject is right up my
street hill!
And a bit of a coincidence that you should ask, as I'm hoping to move up near the Lake District sometime next year so I can get walking on those fells again.
I've done a number of long-distance walks, including 2 on the south west coast path, the Essex Way, and south to north across Wales, starting with the Wye Valley Walk, and including climbs of Cadair Idris and Snowdon.
But my best one so far was 2 months spent walking the fells of the Lake District, from mid April to mid June in 2012. I used a couple of commercial campsites as bases; one near Keswick, and the other in Great Langdale. I'd kit up for 3 to 4 days camping in the hills, and then return to one of the bases to clean up and re-stock. I also spent a few nights camping in some woods near Keswick to make my money go a little further. Best two months of my life!
A few shots I took during that great time:
First walk was up the Newlands Valley and over the shoulder at Dale Head, to descend again into Borrowdale; took this one on the way down:
Second walk I did was to the top of Catbells and up onto Maiden Moor; this shot climbing up above Catbells looking back:
From Grasmere up Easedale, above Easedale Tarn, on the way up to Blea Rigg:
Camped by Stickle Tarn up on the Langdale Pikes:
From the top of Bow Fell:
Spot the tent! Late evening near Greenup Edge:
Next day up on Greenup, I think the view is of Bow Fell:
This time camped by Sprinkling Tarn, a view of Great Gable:
Climbing up Grasmoor, a view of Scafell, Great Gable etc:
I took something like 2000 photos in those two months - desperately need to get back up there!
