Keswick to Camp Via Fellllllls

In my mind there are a number of things which are needed for the ‘perfect’ walk.

1. Linear, getting the bus to the start, and the end destination being your bed for the night.
2. A steep ascent to start, peak elevation by lunch time (always picnic at the top of a hill).
3. High level, fairly flat afternoon of walking with 360o views.
4. Gentle descent, preferably by a stream and waterfalls.

I think I achieved this today with my walk from Keswick to Buttermere. It’s so peaceful on top of the fells. As you come back down into civilisation you feel like you have shared something special with no one but the sheep!

Unfortunately I came back to camp to find an invasion. People need to learn the unspoken camping etiquette. If you are a large party no pitching next to a little tent. People in little tents want peace and quiet. Not booming music and loud voices.
