I was up at Esk Hause on Saturday looking for water. There are, as expected, two sources of water one to the north and also to the south which I could use. I was wondering if anyone knows if these sources are flowing during the summer months? I was looking in to creating a new aid station for the Satmap 10 Peaks which takes place in July – next year we are planning to filter the water rather than carrying it all up the mountain!
The spring on the path towards Scafell Pike (it's about 400m away) is fairly reliable. I can't remember it drying up.
Filter it!!! It's better than any corporation pop

Add a lemon to it.Ive done that on one bg
I/m assuming folks are referring to the spring towards calf cove? I've never known it dry up. It's like nectar
Love that idea Daz, I'll try that!
Ive used that trick twice on hot days.Even better if you use your own lemons off your own tree. Sadly i have to make do with booths when im up there. You do have a lemon tree eleanor?
Next time you can get one from Ambleside's brand new Tesco - opened yesterday .... :angry:
Bit wet in my garden for lemon trees but can do pumpkins.
