SC - I did that slmm too. It was baking. And unpleasant.

Particularly Sunday. Descent of black coombe to finish took me ages and I got in laid down in the parking/camping field and promptly slept for 4hours...

Think i had heat exhaustion.

Saturday the sun was out all day, Sunday there was cloud cover and the humidity was awful. I ran out of water and all the streams were dry. I slid down Black Coombe on my arse using the map as a sled. The stream behind the event centre at the finish was bliss.

I was on verge of entering this year’s event when Covid kicked-off. Haven’t done a Saunders since and was on verge of entering this year when Covid kicked off. Oh well, maybe next year.

Unbelievable, especially considering that the weather around here has been absolutely stinking this weekend.

We saw a tent well lit inside near a well known landmark Thursday night around 10-30. Crazy

It's going to continue even when campsites etc begin to open,

I've been looking at getting away on my own for a few days (to recover from holidaying with mum) and sites are either saying "no tents" or 7-day bookings only, hook-up sites only and you must have your own portaloo etc.

If when the 4th comes around and people just head out expecting to be able to find a site they haven't booked...

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
