Is anyone here from The Lake District? I'll be up that way over the next couple of days and wanted to squeeze in some laning.
How's the weather been up there, I'm thinking of all the rain we've been having, have there been any severe weather warnings, or lane road closures that I should know about?

Thanks.

I was up there at the weekend and apart from most of the fords been a bit high everything else is drivable. Great thing about the lakes is it's soo fooking steep the water just runs straight in ta the rivers & lakes.

Lots of lanes over Grizedale forest way. Some are a bit tight & Scratchy though. If you go near any fords make sure you test the depth before trying to drive them. The LDNP authority has a website with details of all the routes and their current status.

Check your site before you arrive to find it waterlogged The one most of the lads stayed on was like a sponge. If you want a nice quiet site. Try the NT one at Low Wray.

The one at Low Wray has lots of raised areas to pitch your tent on. Don't pay the extra to be near the lake though. It was a bit wet... This is view from our tent. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f13/piccies-me-trip-ta-lakes-62896-2.html
