Does anybody have any knowledge of good boulders that provide shelter for an overnight bivy in the Lake District. It doesn't have to be quite as good as anything like the Shelterstone in the Cairngorms but any good suggestions would be great. Especially anything near to the big crags.
Didn't inspect these closely, but on my wanders this year I spotted big boulders with walls built up underneath them below Dow Crag (the one above the Great Moss in Upper Eskdale), and beneath the north face of Great Gable, obvious if heading east on Moses Trod (photo below). Certainly look as though they have been used as howffs in the past.
There is some biggish boulders round the back of Stickle Tarn under Pavey that you may get some shelter from rather than be right underneath, however i would imagine the ground will be covered in sheep excretions of one sort or another!
