Hi,
me and some friends are looking to head off wild camping in march, we're in the planning phase and we're confident we can have a happy camp yet leave no trace. however we're discussing routes and area's to visit. we'd ideally like to see some wooded area's aswell as hills.
our initial plan was the west side of windermere between the lake and coniston but generally its rather flat and low round there so that's out, not to mention the only raised area is a bushcraft school (woodsmoke on claife hights)
so we decided to follow up yoke and Ill bell by hitting the troutbeck valley first, i'm primarily looking for advice for this area and any in general really. what would people recommend? whats the terrain like and are there any area's we should avoid or is there anything we really must do?
any help is very much appreciated!
thanks
pete
