We came up to the Lake District to wild camp at the wettest location in the UK and it didn't disappoint! Personally, I don't mind wild camping in the rain. Wild camping in the Lake District is my favourite place in the UK. We came up here to go backpacking in the Lake District and take on some of the finest climbs to show that you can backpack and wild camp in the mountains.
The weather in the Lake District is well know for changing and we experienced this summiting Great Cable where wind speeds reached up to 70mph!
Our wild camping spot was the wettest place in England, Sprinkling Tarn, known for having the most precipitation of all of England.
After backpacking uk we pitched our Hilleberg Soulo and Naturehike Mongar 2 tents in a well sheltered part of Sprinkling Tarn but we were still effected by the Lake District weather.

Please note the amazon link is what everyone sees and pays but I receive a miniscule finders fee when people use the link. It all goes back into backpacking gear!
