Wild camping is not permitted in Lake District National Park. Use designated campsites instead. Always get landowner permission before camping on private land.

Scafell Pike, Helvellyn, and Catbells offer challenging terrain with steep sections. Weather changes rapidly here. Check conditions before attempting these peaks and start early.
