    2 days, 2 nights in the Lake District hiking, hammocking, and tramping (pics)

    Me, bro in law and the dog went for a hike and camp in the lakes this weekend. We were in Ennerdale and it was truely the best couple of days walking I have ever done. The main focus was a hike up Pillar, no real bushcraft skills used other then a little fire as we needed to clear the mossies away. As always we left no trace.

    You are damn right I was. Not only was it going to ruin the dogs experience and our trip, but the total contents run at around £50. A lot was at stake. I suppose looking back on it it was all part of the adventure, and on a positive note it made me more cautious for the next day when we were in the mointains.

    Thanks very much. It was only a tiny compact samsung so no fancy photography, but I am happy with most of the pics. Its pretty hard to take a bad picture in the lakes though.

    Its only a rare occasion that I get to go in the hills, but it makes me appreciate it more when I do. If you ever need any reccomendations or route suggestions feel free to PM me. If I can't help then I know people that can
