It's is the only dry bit of langdale. Had a quick mess about on it this morning.

In reply to xplorer: its probably the most expensive to use in the country with the stupidly high prices they charge to camp there!

Hi Stuart - there are a range of prices depending on what type of camping you want to undertake.

cost for a backpacker during the off season £3.25 per night, cost for a large family tent (6m by 7m) aug bank hol £22.50 per night - additional adults £5.50 per night. For that you get access to some of the greatest walking and climbing in the uk and when your finished hot showers and a drying room

In reply to xplorer: please feedback on the wall (or anything else) when you get a chance

In reply to John Kelly:

The bouldering wall is spot on for when its raining, undercover, and surprising few people using it today.

The rain has stopped and with tomorrow's forecast of sun and some wind. Some routes maybe ok!

In reply to xplorer:
wall stayed dry,that's good to know, have to see what its like in a wet westerly gale

i agree there hasn't been many takers for the wall so far, maybe when it's sunny???

you could climb on raven now - dries really quickly - descent would be more serious (might be worth continuing up to the pike of stickle path before descending)

In reply to John Kelly:

Yea completely dry, I don't think it being a little wet would cause any problems anyway.

Really good idea to put a bouldering wall up, adds to an already excellent campsite in a prime location.
