A few brief points...
If you're crossing bogs, rivers or generally getting wet feet, shoes with ratchet straps are the devil - will be on the look out for an alternative fast-drying shoe with 3x velcro straps
Fuck Thermarest, managed 1 1/2 nights before it started leaking air... not looking forward to putting it in the bath and trying to find the leak...
Patagonia's Nano Puff jacket is the shit.
If you want breakfast in Keswick, don't arrive before 8am.
In the Lakes, no matter how un-ridable the terrain, how bad the weather is or if you dunk your dry socks, shoes and spare socks while endo-ing into a bog... you can just around you and everything is amazing.
