It won’t be long now. The days are going to be longer and warmer and we can leave our hibernation stage behind, crawl out of our homes and become active again.  Take your family, pack your tent and discover the adventurous life again. The Lake District is a beautiful area in the UK and a famous national park. It has 4 mountains and 50 different lakes. Many people travel there to see the beauty of nature and to spend a few days in peace and quiet. Spring is a special time when nature wakes up, stretches and allows us to hear all the sounds of life. Insects are waking and starting to fly around, all the little birds are starting to stretch  and all the little chicks are being born. If you’re are lucky, you can even see bats, red deer, Peregrine falcons, Arctic Char fish and Britain’s only nesting pairs of Golden Eagles and Ospreys in Lake District.

The most exciting way to experience nature is to go camping. Get a little tent and a sleeping bag and head out there.  Make sure that the tent you take is waterproof. Set it up properly so that it can withstand a good rain shower. One of the most important items to bring will be a sleeping bag. Camping is no fun when you are freezing. Trust me, I have been so cold while camping once that I was in a bad mood the entire weekend and I couldn’t even enjoy the loveliness of nature. Now I have the vango sleeping bag, and my camping trips have been amazing. Everyone is in a good mood, even when it rains.

We also have proper protection for the rain. Mountain equipment jackets are engineered for the mountains and they certainly do a great job in the Lake District. There are beautiful hikes in the Lake District and you are able to really walk in nature and avoid the herds of people in the camping areas. Trekking poles are necessary for a successful jaunt in nature–they keep you upright and protect your knees. Generally, when people are dry and warm, they enjoy their hike and the weekend is successful. We return to our favourite spots at least once or twice a year.

Did you know…?

Winderemere in the Lake District is England’s biggest natural lake which is 10.56 miles long, 1 mile wide and about 220 feet deep.  You don’t have to go to the ocean to go on a cruise. There are boats on the lake that can take you around.
