Q. Me and a few friends are going wild/campsite camping in the Lake District and i'm a bit stuck about where to leave the car for nearly a week. Thought maybe asking a pub, don't really just want to dump it on a street and annoy the local residents!
Any ideas.
Thank you very much.

A. Obviously it depends on the locality. A hotel is a good idea. A few years ago I left mine at the Mill Inn, Mungrisdale, with the then landlord's permission. It's worth paying a few pounds if required to ensure some peace of mind. Have a meal at the place before and/or after the trip. Also some Guest Houses with a large parking area may help. I did this some years ago in Ambleside of all places. Also are any of the group YHA members as it may be worth talking to a hostel warden if it is a quieter time of year.

A. Hi, there is a great campsite in the langdales - near the old dungeon gill [sic] pub. You can pay to leave your car (only a few quid) and it is safe place. Quick access on to the fells and some great wild camping in the langdales near the various tarns. Returning to your cars you can also use the showers in the campsite and of course the pub before going on.
