Anybody have any suggestions of sleepy spots?

I have one in mind on the outskirts of Hamsterley Forest, about 5miles west of the A68.

Car park, Boulmer beach, Northumberland.

We arrived in the dark, so it was great to wake up and see the sea in the morning!

anywhere along the lake edge in waswater cumbria seen in this clip before you get to the scotland bit. if your feeling frivolous there is a national trust site with hot showers, hook up etc at the end of the road in ideal settings for around a tenner. and a cracking pub and walks near by.

You can also camp quite openly on the village green in Wasdale Head. I was there over the new year, and there were 3 T25s alone (handy for pushing each other out of the mud).
I have also overnighted in between Hardnott Pass and Wrynose Pass - very beautiful, and isolated after hours. First gear job to get there though.
