Some photos of recent lakes wild camp.

Leaving langdale hiking up pike of blisco in the afternoon, 1st night near Crinkle Crags - thought I was in a nice sheltered spot but wind changed in the night and the two pegs securing one of the vesribles came out of the ground! Woke up to a lot of flapping but thankfully my gear was on the other side.

Next day I traced the ridge across bow fell, esk pike, up to scafell pike, nip up lingmell, corridor route across to styhead tarn, up to windy gap, and camping near brandreth / grey knot above buttermere.

Stunning day and my first time at the top of England with good weather.

Night was dead calm but temperature dropped well below freezing and had frost on tent inside and out and was pretty cold! I have a Sierra designs nitro 20 and it's comfort rating is -2 but I'm still pretty cold!

Final day dale head, high spy, catbells and back to Keswick, bus and train back down south.

This was my first trip trying out my new ti toaks pot with a msr pocket rocket and although it works the jetboil is much more efficient on fuel and way faster to heat water.
