I plan to camp at Chapel Stile (Grid Ref: 315054), thus giving us easy access to many fine crags and fells around Langdale, but also leaving us well placed for those that might wish to stray off to other parts of the Lakes.

There is no fixed agenda, but this is a meet for climbers and walkers. Crags like Whitegill, Pavey Ark, Gimmer, Bowfell Buttress and Ravens Crag all sport classic routes across the grades. Scout Crag should be ideal for stringing up the little ones (sorry, taking the children climbing).

Walkers will also find plenty of options. The energetic might try the Langdale watershed - Chapel Stile, Silver Howe, Blea Rigg, High Raise, Pavey Ark, Langdale Pikes, Rossett Pike, Bow Fell, Crinkle Crags, Cold Pike, Pike of Blisco, Lingmoor Fell, Chapel Stile - or t'other way round.

So loads of scope for all persuasions. There are plenty of B&Bs, Youth Hostels, caravans, etc. around if you don't like camping.
