  • Luggage And Bags: A rucksack is ssential for your picnic lunch/ water etc- even if you are not much of a walker you are bound to go walking here.

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Good walking shoes/ boots- trainers are not enough.Also good waterproofs, it rains a lot here. Warm hat and gloves for the higher peaks, plenty of dry comfortable clothes to walk in.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Blister treatments, insect repellants, treatments for bites/ scratches.

    Photo Equipment: Twice as much as you think that you will need- the scenery is so stunning you will never stop taking photos wherever you go.


    Miscellaneous: Plenty of good maps- also do your research before you go, its easy to get lost.

  • Miscellaneous: Whilst I was in the lake district I picked up a magazine called "LAKES AND CUMBRIA TODAY", It only cost £1.00 and it was a brilliant source of information, where to eat, where to stay, where to visit, safety tips and it even has details of walks with maps!- I t is gonna be my essential companion whenever I visit the lake district from now on.

     Keswick and Derwentwater are brilliant for good walks and scenery, definately my favourite place to go in the Lakes! Haven't been for soooo long, will have to this summer! Thanks for the tips.
