Probably my favourite place in the world really. Because it's beautiful and English.
Hard to choose a favourite but I guess the place I keep going back to is Langdale. Love the walk up Side pike, past Blea tarn and down in to Little Langdale. Pint at Elterwater, another at Wainwrights in Chapel Stile then back along through Great Langdale for pints at the Old Dungeon Ghyll then a dance to a band at the Sticklebarn. Class man.
Can't wait to get me camper done for next year and get back up there.

Aye, I love Glencoe.
The road to Glen Etive nearby is class too.
Simply adore the journey from Ullapool to Durness further up.
Best driving road(s) in Britain imo.

The Lakes is a beautiful place however just becoming more and more commercial these days ...... Bowness is not really a nice place at all anymore ...... Would love to try the highlands its on our list .....

Glencoe is unbelievable.We're lucky in that the majority of people on this thread are able to jump in a car and be in the middle of the lakes in a couple of hours tops.
Glencoe is class like. Would love to get up to Cape Wrath in the camper sometime though.
The run over Rannoch Moor from Pitlochry to get there is fantastic.
Can’t recommend the highlands enough, once you’ve been you’ll fall in love with the place. Think Lake District but just on a much larger scale

Did that exact walk with my dad this year, had about 14 pints after the whole thing and kipped on the grass in the car park at the dungeon ghyll mortal. Hell of a day
True like. Does my head in geassmere/ambleside/keswick etc.. canny if you have posh kids though.
I left my car up past grassmere and got the bus to dungeon ghyll and hiked up to stickle tarn on my own with just bivvy bag and tarp and camped out, earlier in the year. Slice of space cake and a good book, phone turned off, little bit whisky, was amazing . Especially the sun rise in the morning. Spent the day walking back over the top to the car. Stopped at the bunk house at kirkstone pass in next night was £12 for the night and i was only person there. Its mint when you have the lakes to yourself but it's not easy

We actually hitch hiked from chapel stile, was already 8 pints in at the point. Woke up 6am with clear blue sky above me and birds singing wondering where the fuck I was. Stove on, cuppa, and away. Gonna do the same again next year.
