And the YMCA at Lakeside may have some activies for 15 yr olds - all three run outdoor activities with fully qualified instructors, doing really fun/ challenging activities.

Check out Daves Wild Camping on Youtube for videos. He's done a few in the lakes as well and I actually walked past his tent on Grisedale Pike and I didn't know until I saw his video.

Officially no....however...... http://www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/visiting/where-to-stay/wild-camping

I note with a degree of amusement the lakedistrict.gov site advocates tents that blend in....yet the photo shows a bright orange tent lit up like a belisha beacon ...I tend to use a lot of ex military surplus gear so pretty much blend in. the disadvantage being if I was in trouble be harder to spot so a trade off
