Snoot Jul 2020 11:28am, 2 Jul 2020 39 posts	0 Snoot Just popping out of the clag at about 1400ft on the way down from Blencathra last night. Obviously no view at the top but worth it all the same, didn’t see another soul on the fell!
flyingfinn Jul 2020 1:37pm, 8 Jul 2020 1,750 posts	0 flyingfinn Just seen a picture on someone's ~~strava~~ feed of a DPD van found stuck just over the top of Garburn Pass trying to make his way to Kentmere to help a colleague with a puncture! Have to say I was impressed by how far he appeared to have got 😂😂😂
Rosehip Jul 2020 3:27pm, 8 Jul 2020 16,996 posts	0 Rosehip oops! there's been a few vehicle in daft places incidents this year.
Totriornottotri Jul 2020 8:00pm, 19 Jul 2020 587 posts	0 Totriornottotri If you’re arriving at 0001 and off again at 0500 where do you stay in the Keswick region? I think it’s long enough to pitch a quick tent. I suggested Dunmail Raise. I’ve enquired about an honesty box at Thirlspot camping.
Totriornottotri Jul 2020 8:01pm, 19 Jul 2020 588 posts	0 Totriornottotri And obviously we’ll leave no trace - just a rather drive up night before rather than on day.
Rosehip Jul 2020 8:05pm, 19 Jul 2020 17,066 posts	0 Rosehip Can't help - there was a tent by the bridge past the roundhouse on the track from Molesdale. If I was on my own I'd put the seats down and sleep in my car somewhere
Velociraptor Jul 2020 8:14pm, 19 Jul 2020 47,614 posts	0 Velociraptor I reckon you could get away with parking and popping a tent up for a few hours on the Caldbeck fells. Similar distance from Keswick in a different direction.
Totriornottotri Jul 2020 8:14pm, 19 Jul 2020 589 posts	0 Totriornottotri Thanks. I’ll have a look
Northern Exile Jul 2020 9:15pm, 19 Jul 2020 6,601 posts	0 Northern Exile You'd definitely get away with it on Caldbeck Commons. We were up there last weekend and saw loads of camping going on.

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 :-)
