Easedale Tarn

Having established base camp in Grasmere, me and Leyla ate like kings for breakfast and dinner, packed our rucksacks full of goodies, took a bet on the weather and headed off for a night of wild camping -- Leyla's not done it before, so she's buzzing.

Back in April I was here in Grasmere for a work meeting and I took a stroll up Easedale Beck for the first time in 22 years. When I got to Easedale Tarn, I noticed a couple of spots that looked great for wild camping and told myself that I should come back with Leyla in the summer. So, here we are.
