A few of us went to Castlerigg in 1996 or 1997. It was excellant. The Police on duty actually directed you to the best place to park up etc. It was very well done, but that was a while ago. There were around 100-150 people there and we were lucky enought to have a perfect morning, with the sun rising over the side of Blencathra. It was a wonderfully warm day and we spent a large part of it swimming in Derwent Water.

I would imagine that Castlerigg gets incredibley busy at Solstice - it is usually packed with tourists on any given day but it is an amazing site.

Where are you located and what are you hoping to "get out" of your experience? Maybe there are some smaller, lesser visited sites which may be preferable?

Let me know and I'll put my thinking hat on...
