We will be going to Glenridding on spectacular Ullswater in the Lake District. We will be staying at Gillside Farm campsite a few hundred metres away from the edge of the lake.
- Walking: You will be right in the big hills of the Lake District and perfectly situated for Helvellyn, England's third-highest peak.
- Climbing and Harder Scrambling: Plenty available in the Lakes although you will need to drive to get to any of the main venues. Nearby is the famous Pinnacle Ridge on St Sunday Crag (Grade 3 scramble).
- Transport: Public transport is possible - you can get the train from London direct to Penrith and then the 508 bus (run by Stagecoach) which stops at Glenridding.
Or, use the website system to help you organise a lift.
- Accommodation & Facilities: This is a camping meet, so you'll need to bring your own tent, camping gear and food for the 2 nights.
- Pub: There is a pub, the Travellers Rest, a few minutes' walk away, which might be a good option for dinner on the Saturday night.
- Payment: The cost of the campsite is £26 pp + £2 per car for the 2 nights, payable direct to the campsite.
Important note if you want a shower: Please bring a good supply of 20p coins
