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

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.
