This was my first Borrowdale too and I really enjoyed it - everyone was super friendly and encouraging.
I must've looked lost at one point because someone said "If you don't know the way, it's over there, and keep to the right of the tarn", very helpful
A few pics snapped on my phone on the way round:

Drove straight to Stoke-on-Trent afterwards and didn't get cramp, result.
Looking forward to next year.
