When organising the meet I phoned the Inn but was told there was no need to book other than for Bank Holiday weekends.. So I didn't, but on turning up was a bit disconbobulated to learn that, like Mary and Joseph before us, there was no room at the Inn! The campsite was full....This meet was now begining to accrue the sepia tones of disaster as on arrival at the bar I noticed that I had left all my cash in my car at Chapel House Farm! We persuaded the Inn that as we only had one-man tents we could squeeze in, and that's my Laser-Comp to the right of the red thing. It was tight but we made it and at £3. a night it is one of the best value campsites I know of in Lakeland. The lads bailed me out on the cash front till I was reunited with my dosh. We ate in the Inn had a wonderful time and got chatted-up by a pretty platinum-blond lassie sitting on the adjacent table. She was Meissen-skinned, pert of demeanour with that undefinable delicacy of form, awash with the dizzying confidence of youth in unison with a beauty as yet unsullied by the vississitudes of life,.... though, of course, I hardly noticed her. Well perhaps we were not exactly chatted-up, but there was a sufficiency of self-delusion swirling in the Laphroaig-malted fumes to set an auld man's heart affutter.

I have been coming to this pub campsite and to these hills for well over 30 years and I rate this the best of Lakeland, in part becuase you have to work to get here however you choose to do it, and the wonderful sunny day allowed Tony and Richard - both on first visits here to see it at its best. Despite the crowd there was absolutely no noise on the campsite overnight, or maybe there was and we were insulated by that pleasing combination of tired musles soothed by alcohol's loyal dependable caresse! Zzzzzzzzzzzzz..
