Do you need to book any camping or does the car park field just turn into a camping ground after the majority of punters have left???
Myself, Mrs Goosefat and Goslingfat are planning to camp but need to find out what goes?

Yeah, cheers, Daz! I'll still be suffering from BG knee at Borrowdale, probably. Going over to Bamford this evening for my first race - the descent from Win Hill should put my poor knee thoroughly to the test.Quote:

Dunno yet Emmi. Strangely, it seems that Juicer wants to camp and I want a nice warm b&b! I must be getting old...Quote:

Have you thought about camping on the friday night? Is that possible?

Oh, just noticed I'd missed a few pages when reading this thread. Looks like a car at Honister might be my saviour then.
Hope everyone's not planning going too quick... gulp! You sound in a bit of a rush. :eek:
Where's Chapel House campsite?
I'm staying here on fri night!
http://www.siteseeker.co.uk/siteseek...¤tPage=0
There's plenty of good campsites just outside of Rosthwaite nice and close to the finish and better still the beer tent! :D
Cheers Calf and Hopey. Will check that out. We usually stay at Braithwaite, but it's had a bit of a tendency to be noisy recently. It is near the Coledale Inn though, which is a big plus point. I
If you head towards Honister from the start of the race, there's a campsite on the left about half a mile and then another half a mile further.
[QUOTE= Where's Chapel House campsite?[/QUOTE]
This is the link 'Notonurnelly' posted earlier in the thread for Chapel House Farm, I've not been there myself.
http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/re...asp?revid=4873.
If it's no good there is a site I've used in Buttermere which I really liked (Syke Farm I think it was called).
I stayed at Chapel House last week, it's ok, good spot, you'll run past it on the race, it's next to the church, where I believe Bob Graham is buried.
There's a couple of sites at Seathwaite as well.
i may yet camp then
emmi were are you stopping , same as this lot
I think we should do a naked reccee
...for a change
You're were too quick! are you permanently logged into this thread? ThereQuote:

I may as well put everything back in there now...like... to get that true
borrowdale experience a certain DS opted to wade through the stream at
Rosthwaite at the weekend.. Of course it wasn't a reccie no no no! couldn't possibly be... I think she'd spotted a rare moss orchid or something.
Ok, Grey Knotts to Honnister,just shoes and balaclava. Straight past the tourists and change before climbing Dale Head.Quote:
