I have no plans for New Year's Eve this year, and I quite fancy heading out into the hills and wild camping somewhere (forecast-depending, etc). I'm currently at my parents and don't have any maps lying around - give me some ideas to mull over before I go home tomorrow and find some maps to look at. Bonus points for there being enough snow/ice to need an axe and crampons, and double bonus points if in the vicinity of some consolidated snow and amenable grade I or II routes to solo.

Lakes would be easiest, but I'm open to other options too.

My garden?

In reply to tehmarks:

Probably Lakes I'd think

In reply to tehmarks:

Lakes. Either Little Narrowcove from Mosedale, or Hard Tarn on Nethermost. Solitude.

In reply to Wainers44:

Hard Tarn could be a good shout - I'd been thinking about wandering around Striding and Swirral Edges as I've so far managed to avoid them, summer or winter. That'd fit together quite well.

In reply to tehmarks:

The scramble down to the Tarn is good in the snow too. There are a couple of gullies If stable enough to the south, or straight off the shoulder from Nethermost summit.
