Thanks in Advance

    The best time is when you have time but I would not plan on camping much later than October - although with our weather lately it might be the best time of year.

    3 days is okay, I done it in 3 in June. Stopped at Penrith and Allenheads.

    i don't think i'd do it any later than October because it gets darker sooner and colder . Mind i've done it twice both times in June 1st time it was very hot then 2nd time it rain for 2 of the 3 days so you can't predict anything with the weather we get lately. I've stayed Keswick-Allenhead then Penrith Nenthead think problem with Allenhead n Nenthead is your climbing straight away bit rough after a full english breakfast :oops: lol

    Tip of the day - don't have 15 pints in the Allenheads inn, stay up till 3.30 thinking you have an easy day ahead. :(

    I'm leaving Newcastle on 20th on the Hadrians route, then back again on the C2C, looking at six days in total and yes, I think it's about as late as I want to be going camping - especially up there!
