not been to that one
so is it a roll up job and just pay .

Aye, no bookings from what I remember. Usually plenty of room though, unless it's the middle of summer. The other advantage is if you pay for camping, you can obviously leave your vehicle there and avoid the extortionate parking charges in the Langdale valley. Although, knowing you Daz, you're planning to park at Dunmail Raise and run over on Saturday morning

Think im gonna just kip in the van the night before with a good book

I'm planning to kip in my tent the night before with a good woman

The NT campsite is already fully booked for Friday night.
The cost per tent is £5, just 50p less than the extortionate rate at the car park.
At £5.50 per day, the parking charge is like blackmail rather than a reasonable parking fee. It takes something like foot & mouth to remind people that visitors to a place are not to be treated like victims.

Eh? Yiannis, are you meaning the Great Langdale BT campsite? I've always been told it doesn't take bookings and is first come-first served on the day? Help.

Parking free for NT members, or maybe that should say "included" in the NT membership subs.

I rang the NT campsite in Gt Langdale, opposite the ODG hotel, NY287058, Tel: 015394 37668 and was told it would be full Fri night.

Ok, thanks Yiannis. That's the same campsite. Perhaps they've changed policy? It certainly still says first come first served on the website. And twas always thus. They have a "group" field which can be booked in advance.

I've left a message on that number, I'll let you know if they tell me anything different.

[Marvin]

Ok will do. Assuming the weather's ok, we'll be the pair in the green Newport tops. I'm the thinner one and you can tell my running partner I said that

Will look out for you. Daz and I will be in the distinctive red/yellow/black of Pennine.
