Hi Wookie,
I'm not from your area but Borrowdale is good - Castle Crag, Seathwhaite - check out Millican Dalton's cave on the east side of Castle Crag
hope this helps

Thanks for the info Rod, have stayed at the cave a couple of times, ok if you like running water. Didn't realise the history behind the cave, just read about it on line, facinating stuff.

Millican Daltons cave is cold, damp and smells of wee. The Hole up Langstrath valley is far and away nicer (well it was about three years ago which was the last time I visited) and even had a wooden sleeping platform and a fireplace.
Mmmm, not very bushcrafty I suppose but it's alright all the same.
Hi Demographic,
I've heard of this sub-terrain 'hotel' and that its reackoned to have been built by shipyard workers from the north west. Any chance you have got an OS map ref so I can check it out sometime?
cheers

Ah!
Looks like the secrets out!
Well almost!
A positively splendid venue, that has been wrapped in secrecy for years.
There was even an article in a popular walking mag recently.
Shocking....
IMHO something as special as this 'Howf' should remain in the mists of legend and only shown to those worthy.
You've only got to look at the damage done to accessible bothies around the country.

hello and welcome to bcuk wookie
sorry to hijack your welcome thread but i agree with fungi the "howf" should remain shrouded by the mists of legend I have visited it in the past but no longer have record of it location so if grid refs are given can we please all do it by pm and not publicly in the forum it would be a terrible shame if such a cool and legendary place got spoilt by the masses because the secret was made public on BCUK

Hi Fungi,
Panic not - the secret is still safe
Hi Wookey,
As already mentioned Borrowdale is good. Just a word of caution - lambing is in full swing and the farmers are already having a rough time with all the cold weather we've been having (minus 5 at 8.30pm on Grizedale Pike last night!) so beware irate farmers
BTW welcome to the site, tha natives are a friendly bunch!

After living on a sheepfarm as a nipper the main problems that we had was with numpties leaving gates open/letting the sheep through, and letting their dogs off the lead during lambing season.
Other than that there wasn't much they did that bothered us*.
*Other than complain when we arsed around on the fells with motorbikes
