Camping in the Lakes (Keswick)

[GarethNW]

Weekend beginning July 23rd

The plan for the weekend is to arrive Friday at the camp site situated just outside Keswick where we will pitch up our tents, (numbers is not an issue) there is a mass of space for tents. There is also a very secure area to park bikes and cars which will be in our Line of Sight whilst camping.

This is one of the few campsites where you can have a proper stone fire on the floor and it has a very relaxed and chilled atmosphere. I will be cooking for everyone who comes and making sure your basic needs are covered. (I said basic!)

The campsite has very good showers and toilet facilities which are cleaned every morning.

There is a nice stream that will run through our camping area where we can keep beer and drinks COLD!

I have a nice route for a ride out on the Saturday and Keswick town itself is only 10 mins away and worth a look.

Saturday night more camping around a fire.

Hope you can make it folks

[yorbandit]

Sorry chaps i wrote yain me diary wrong and i already booked to go to aberdare this weekend so another time peeps

[GarethNW]

Yeah you cant escape us that easy, plenty more camping trips to be had.

Saw a really nice spot in North Wales today. They also had open fires so that may just be the one after Keswick.

[Ash]

this actually falls on one of the rare, once in a blue moon occasions that I get a friday, Saturday, Sunday off, so as long as i have the funds, I will be well up for this

[Guest]

if the weathers good we could always take a trip to Derwent water and get our feet wet...

theres a good ride round Derwent water, down the Borrowdale Valley, over Honister Pass, and past Buttermere. have a look on google maps street veiw.
