Room with a view

A campervan parked up on the shore of Wastwater, one of the lakes forming the Lake District National Park.

 

Wastwater won "ITV Britains Favourite View" a couple of years ago, and it's no suprise - the place is achingly beautiful and probably my favourite place in the UK.

 

The lake is the deepest of the lakes in the lake district, probably the least developed (very few buildings and still very rural with a twisty single-track road). The mountain in the distance to the right is Scafell Pike, Englands' tallest mountain.

 

We (me, julie and Jon) camped at the far end of the lake at the National Trust's Wasdale campsite for a long weekend - very nice place to camp with good facilities.

 

On the 3rd night the sky was completely cloudless, and due to it's remote nature devoid of light polution - the stars were amazing - so many of them, and so clear, i swear you could make out different shades of nebula too!

Can't wait to go back :-)
