Walking/Hiking Answers: Wild Camping in the Lake District

Got an answer to the following question?

Wild Camping In The Lake District

I am seeking your professional guidance please.

My 16 years old son and I are keen on wild camping in scenic countryside. We are both reasonably experienced ramblers, I'm ex-military and my son is an Air Cadets of 3 years.

We've done various hill and ridge walks in N & S Wales together, and now we fancy a change of scenery. The Lake District appeals to me because neither of us has visited that region before.

Ideally we would like to do a circular walk so we can wild camp half way round. I was lost for choice after surveying the suggested routes in your 'Best walks in the Lake District'.

Could you suggest one, or a combination of routes from your database? The intended visit would be at the end of August, early September.

Also, I was intending to drive there, so suggestions on where I could leave the car would also be helpful. During our Wales excursions we were typically on the hills for about 10 hours before we camped down.

Look forward to hearing from you,
